 * DON'T DELETE. Quackenbush is not a "non-notable ebook author", hhttp://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.poughkeepsiejournal.com%2Farticle%2F20130217%2FLIFE%2F302170032&h=CAQF9Yu6xe is a respected author who has received recognition for his works in magazines and newspapers. "Non-notable" people don't get noted by reviewers and journalists. 182.239.176.232 02:15, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, Quackenbush has three print books out (that are incidentally also ebooks, but Double_Dragon_Publishing is a respected publishing house) and, as demonstrated above, has been written about in several newspapers and is quoted.  That meets notability.   24.161.123.234
 * Delete - no real significance. --Aphorist (talk) 10:44, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clearly not a notable author, and I can find no evidence that notable sources have ever quoted any of this stuff. Regarding the links above: User contribution sites like Goodreads, and Amazon reader reviews (which look like they were written by friends and family) are not reliable sources, and the author's own website, xenex.org, is not an independent source. The mere fact of being published, or being mentioned in print (e.g. as a local author in Poughkeepsie), does not indicate notability. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:40, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
