• Delete, conspiracycruft. Fails WP:BIO Most of the article deals not with the page subject, Martin Keating, but instead with his book “The Final Jihad”. Page was proded; deproded on the grounds of “deprod published author”. Simply a non-notable author who brother was the Governor of Oklahoma. Brimba 03:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Fails essentially every test for a proper encyclopedic article other than WP:MUSIC. It's a conspiracy essay. Elomis 03:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Elmois GabrielF 04:14, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, does not meet WP:BIO. --MCB 05:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom --Tbeatty 05:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I voted to keep the book, but this man has no notability otherwise. Derex 09:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete A single published book is not enough to warrant an article, especially since that book isnt particularly notable, having won awards or being written by a notable author, part of a series of notable books etc. --NuclearZer0 11:20, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Saw it passed WP:MUSIC per Elomis, but delete anyway. *Sparkhead 12:56, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete n' all that. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 13:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no notability outside of The Final Jihad, and spends most of its text repeating that article.--Rosicrucian 15:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and expand - author of a published work, notability established.--Irishpunktom\^talk 12:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

• Being the author of a published work does not establish notability if the author has no notability outside of the work. Beyond that, said published work is also up for AfD.--Rosicrucian 16:05, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
