Mark Charan Newton

This appears to be a vanity article. There is no evidence that the author is notable. The article is not linked to from anywhere else on WP. The references are all to the blogs (mostly to the author's blog). Fashionslide (talk) 18:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a newly published author with no sources covering him. I found some press releases, and there is coverage in blogs, but that's all. -- Whpq (talk) 16:02, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Speedy delete - A7, no claim to notability. "Published by Tor" is not a claim to notability - if my Google-fu is working, "Tor" is in fact this site, which seems to be only the slightest step up from an outright vanity press. Tagged as A7. Badger Drink (talk) 06:46, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Tor Books is a legitimate publisher of science fiction and fantasy and is a significant step up from a vanity publisher, not that this makes ths author notable. -- Whpq (talk) 08:56, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
