[edit] Jim Knipfel

tagged as db-bio but notability asserted so bringing here instead. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 15:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete nn author. One novel and a bunch of memoirs. Ruby 16:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 16:09, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:BIO. Both Slackjaw and The Buzzing are on amazon; while they have very high ranking (mean: low selling rates), I think they may go over the required 5000 copies of the guideline (is there any way to get the number of copies sold from the amazon rank?). Also, he writes for New York Press, which I also think have a sufficient circulation. - Liberatore(T) 16:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. At least a few of his books were reissued as paperbacks after an initial hardcover issue. That's a very strong indication towards the 5000-sales guideline in WP:Bio. Amazon lists a full complement of review from major periodicals too (here's the Slackjaw page). ×Meegs 16:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, legit journalist, like Cyrus Farivar. Kappa 17:28, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Liberatore. --- Charles Stewart(talk) 18:03, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. He's not usually my cup of tea, but he meets the notability requirements. --Aaron 19:09, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per above. Dlyons493 Talk 19:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
