[edit] Joe Craig

Appears to be promotional / vanity page. Subject is author of minor children's novels. Content has elements which sound like marketing blurb. No evidence of significance of works given beyond links to author website and amazon book store listings. Note that if this is deleted, the wikilink also needs to be removed from the Emmanuel College, Cambridge page Bwithh 10:31, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. The article needs cleaning up, but there doesn't seem to be any doubt that he's a published author with a past in writing, composition, and performance that's interesting and significant. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Mel Etitis. Logophile 15:06, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. JoshuaZ 15:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• I don't think the notability of this author/composer is clearcut (there is some doubt since I made the afd request... and being published is not enough), but I'm going to change this to a cleanup request. withdrawing deletion request Bwithh 16:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

  Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents#Literature: "Authors and writers are notable if they have released a book (other than through vanity press)." As for withdrawing, it's not that simple I'm afraid; I've replaced the template, and I'm checking to see whether it's permissible to close the AfD early. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
