- Keep All of them. A NY Times best-selling author. Are ya sure you wanna go through with this? Amazon is not a good place to judge notabiity as it only gauges what Amazon customers buy. Article needs improvement, though.--Sethacus 02:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- That's what the press release of an organization getting his freebies claims, but I cannot find anything from NYT to confirm that. If someone can find that I'll gladly withdraw this, although it's unclear whether the books meet WP:BK even if the author is notable. Carlossuarez46 05:57, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I'm glad you asked. [1] (scroll down to chapter books) [2] (this time, scroll down to series books). And from "About the author" in Amazon:"Patrick Carman's first book, The Dark Hills Divide (Land of Elyon series) spent over 20 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sethacus (talk • contribs) 16:20, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. Author has his own category on Amazon. Smashville 05:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Remember that Amazon has millions of books... rankings anywhere in five digits aren't all that low. Pinball22 15:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
