Deletion[edit]

Re the plan to delete this page. The subject has three published novels. I have to believe there are hundreds of other authors in Wikipedia with a similar output. It took me less than a minute to find this one, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hill_%28author%29 , as a random example. What would be the point of deleting all of them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tidbit9 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to WP:NAUTHOR. Output is not the only criteria for notability. That link will provide the notability guidelines for authors. Safiel (talk) 23:39, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
