Charles Saxby
Was trying to cleanup this article but am putting this up for deletion because I can't find anything on the Author or the book when I googled them. — McNoddy 13:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, although we could use a brief introduction, given the modern obscurity of this author. This is one of those rare cases of someone quoting a person who's neither current enough to have much presence in Google, and not so famous as to be frequently discussed in modern times like his contemporary Dashiell Hammett. Saxby is the author of a series of mystery novels (I believe) whose titles usually begin with "Death", as in Death over Hollywood (1937), Death Cuts the Film (1939), Death in the Sun (1940), and Death Wore Roses (1942). Amazon.com has some of these books, and the U.S. Library of Congress lists 9 works of his. Both sites include the sole currently-quoted work. As he doesn't appear to be vanity-published, and many of the books are still available 60-70 years after their first printings, I'd favor keeping this article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: well spotted Jeff Q suppose theres only one thing for it, Keep--McNoddy 15:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - withdraw nom? Will {{sup|{talk)}} 15:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * What we usually do if we change our minds is to strike the old vote and post a revision sub-bulleted under it. If the nominator changes his/her mind, and no one else has subsequently argued for deletion or other action, it may be speedy-kept. In this case, since McNoddy has only voted to "keep", if we can interpret Will's comment as a "keep" and we get no contrary input, we should be able to close this very quickly. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is a keep. Will {{sup|{talk)}} 16:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
