[edit] Merge with Joe McGinniss Jr.
Joe McGinniss Jr. doesn't seem to have any independent notability other than this novel. JASpencer (talk) 23:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. Author biographies should not be merged with articles on their work. The publication of this novel satisfies basic notability for him, anyway. If you feel otherwise, feel free to AFD the biographical article. But if he isn't independently notable now and becomes so later, it will just mess up this article. Articles on a person's work must remain separate from biographical articles. 23skidoo (talk) 03:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. What a bad idea! This will create articles with a lack of focus and confuse readers even more between the fictional world and the real world. Also most authors have written more than one thing as has this one. Where do we find such schemes, perhaps we can send them back there. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:44, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. The author's notability is established with the debut novel "The Delivery Man." By keeping author biographies separate from notable works it allows focused articles. There is extensive precedent in wikipedia of author biographies separated from works. Additionally, this author has published other works including short fiction and journalism pieces. Here is one work of fiction http://www.lasvegasweekly.com/content/fileadmin/oldsite/2003/10/30/feature1.html. and it appears that there are several other journalism pieces for Las Vegas Weekly.
