Delete Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:AUTHOR. No significant reliable source coverage to meet any standard of notability. PohranicniStraze (talk) 02:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note that USA Today states that he used a pen name. Also, active over a decade ago, ergo, archive searches are essential. E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:28, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:HEYMANN] I want first to note that Nom and editor writing above give no indication of being aware that this author used a pen name, although it is out there at the top of the searches I ran. I then want to note that neither of them gave any indication of having run news archive searches, although it is a truth universally acknowledged that many, perhaps most, authors will be notable only for a few years around the publication of their more popular books. Wysong/Steward is a case in point. But notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Part of what is GREAT - and user friendly - about Wikipedia is that you can look up teh popular writers of your, when you stumble into one. We KEEP writers like Louise Hall Tharp, Elaine Macmann Willoughby, Wilfrid S. Bronson, and Mary Nash (author) - even though nobody reads them anymore. (end of rant) WP:HEY, I have added some material, sources to the page, more reviews exist and can be added, although I believe that I have added enough to show that it should be kept. He was quite widely quoted back in the day, quite a few hits where he is quoted as-an-expert on the air travel experience. E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:05, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
