The subject of this article does not appear to be the subject of non-trivial coverage from reliable publications. Steps were taken WP:BEFORE this nomination to locate evidence of such coverage, but were not successful. Please do not hesitate to contact me should significant coverage be located during the course of this discussion. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 00:01, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He is not an academic in his specialty of metaphysics so he doesn't have that advantage in terms of establishing himself as an author. I went to Amazon and none of his books were reviewed, starred, etc. I did a Google search on this person's name and the second site to come up was a Google sites web page. His social media following is very low too so in the absence of him landing a major publisher, it is going to be hard for him to establish himself as a notable author. He may be a great writer, but right now it does not appear that he is a notable writer in terms of the volume of his book sales. Knox490 (talk) 00:30, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
