Non-notable author. Almost no sign of independent, substantial coverage via Google, except for one write-up in a home-town paper. Almost no independent coverage for the author's first book or the Ravencrest series or the radio show. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:15, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. Just the kind of totally non-notable ~~nonentity~~ author we don't need a page on. That a local paper printed his press release does not come close to establishing notability.

- Please remain WP:CIVIL. Your calling them a "non-notable nonentity" is hardly polite. Please focus on the merits of the article itself, not the subject of the article. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:31, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move to User Space WP:TOOSOON. I mean that quite literally. Clearly the Ravencrest series is selling (publishers don't continue series that are not); the books coming out in 2015 may generate coverage, or, if not, very likely subsequent books will since this horror author has as strong start. User:BerlinMalcom I suggest that you request that this be moved into your User Space, others will be able to access it there, you will be able to improve it as Cross' ouvre & reputation grow. Meanwhile, BerlinMalcom, I hope that you will join us by contributing to the pages of horror authors or other topics that interest you. You will learn how to build a better page, and gain the trust of other editors by demonstrating a will to participate in the project, not just this one page. For example, the page of Cross's co-author Tamara Thorne could use smoothing, and Graham Masterton is one of the many horror writers in need of sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:08, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
