Appears to fail WP:NAUTHOR. He hasn't won any major prizes which would be an auto-keep, he, not his work, have received much significant coverage in independent, reliable sources and the critical acclaim his works have received is sparse. SITH (talk) 14:26, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Creation of a single-use editor. Plainly promotional. The sole reference leads to a 404 page. Notability not asserted and nowhere in sight. --Lockley (talk) 05:36, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no assertion that the subject meets notability criteria; obviously promotional article. --Slashme (talk) 07:02, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - a Google search uncovers few third party profiles. Here's an article in a religious publication where he's mentioned, but he's not the subject. [[1]]. I also hunted for reviews of his books in notable reliable sources and couldn't find any besides this one on the Peace Corps site, not one known for its book reviews. [[2]]. His bio says he's a NY Times best selling author but I can't find any sources to back this up, or any coverage in the NY Times. This not-that-notable source says his book Healing the Masculine Soul pioneered the men's Christian movement [[3]], but there's not enough coverage overall to meet WP:AUTHOR, let alone WP:GNG.
