His notability will be decided at the AfD, but this section is written like any other description of a book on Wikipedia. We always cover reviews. undo Tag: Undo

A book with minimal reception and minimal sales should not be getting a huge promotion section. Else you should give the 999,99th ranking book (more notable than signal’s) a page as well along with every book more notable undo Tags: Undo Reverted

Does not seem the Subject has increased in prominence since 2017, going from editor to self published , and having a non notable book which did not reach best seller status and had tepid reception per bookmarks. I worry linking to blog and book is needless self promotion. Needs a look and rework at least. undo

• curprev 02:4202:42, 2 September 2021 Deleted User 200017778 talk contribs 12,937 bytes +39 →Book: I am unsure a book which falls so short of notability requirements should get so much Wikipedia space. A search confirms it did not make best seller lists, ranks at about 100K sales rank and has mixed reviews in bookmarks. Perhaps it should be condensed to one line. undo

That said, I don’t think prominent journalist could ever reasonably be said for someone who hasn’t been published in years undo
• curprev 02:3602:36, 2 September 2021 Deleted User 200017778 talk contribs 12,868 bytes +53 I worry naming him the world leading journalist on this subject is very hyperbolic: both sources are admittedly not objective, questionably reliable, and by authors who claim to be connected to him. Furthermore he has not enjoyed a publication on this subject in years. undo
