Nominated for speedy deletion but contested. There is an assertion of notability here as the subject is a published author, though I'm not sure he meets WP:BIO. Regardless I figured it was only fair to give this the benefit of a community review. This is a procedural nomination, I have no real opinion here.--Isotope23 17:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep He is a notable writer in South Africa - he's been writing for decades and has had numerous books published.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistermister80 (talk • contribs)
• Weak keep but only if sources assuring WP:N are found. Google News Archive had a handful of scattered boxing writings of his. --Dhartung | Talk 22:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
• weak keep There is insufficient information now, and like Dhartung I hope more will be found. DGG 02:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep assuming the article is sourced. I briefly searched on google, but because the man is an author it was hard to find the things written about him, as opposed to simply by him. He's at least written a lot, which is a start. Natalie 04:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep he's a notable writer and has some sigiificant achievements - including the fact that he was one of the few S.A. writers to stand up to the establishment in his older writings—Preceding unsigned comment added by Injinchee (talk • contribs)
• Don't change the Header You are breaking the linking that would allow anyone participating in this AfD to actually read the article. I also note that there are a couple of new users that are single purpose accounts at this time in regards to editing the Ronan Keenan article and this discussion. I'm not accusing anyone of anything at this point but I'm just going to toss out WP:SOCK for some light reading so we hopefully don't see a bunch more new editors suddenly show up here.--Isotope23 17:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless sourced and reference i.a.w. WP:BIO and WP:V by end of this AfD —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alf photoman (talk • contribs) 23:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC).
• Keep article has been updated and sourced.--mistermister80

• Please only add keep or delete once per discussion.--Isotope23 14:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
