CommentHi - Thank you for your thoughts on the R. James Breiding article. I would like to advocate for keeping the article for two main reasons: 1. The subject of the article is the author of a book which has sold more than 250,000 copies and has been translated into more than 7 languages. The book has been praised by people such as Larry Summers and Paul Volcker. By any metric that is a fairly notable person. 2. There are plenty of other Wikipedia articles on people who have merely published a single book, i.e. much the same thing. If those articles are allowed, this one should be, too. R. James Breiding is the author of two books, runs a successful hedge fund which has its own Wikipedia page and is a noteable speaker at famous universities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SwissMade2019 (talk • contribs) 12:16, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
