Fails WP:AUTHOR, though he seems to have written quite a bit. However, the article is a stub only sourced to his personal bio. Deletion recommended. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 01:50, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Having written a purportedly but not sourcedly best-selling book might get him over AUTHOR if the article were properly referenced, but it is not an "inherent" notability freebie that exempts a person from actually having to have any sources — bestsellerdom is a thing that writers often falsely claim to have achieved in their publicity materials when they actually achieved no such thing at all, so the notability test is not what the article does or doesn't say, but how well it does or doesn't reference the things it says to reliable sources that properly verify those things as true. And being a guest on talk radio is not a notability claim either — he has to be the subject being spoken about, not the person doing the speaking on some other subject, for a reference to support his notability, so the improperly cited Q&A interview in which he's talking about hunting does not help.

Delete. Fails WP:BIO. He has written widely including on Fox News but I can't find any substantive coverage of Miniter as a person which is what is required for notability. 2A02:C7F:4481:8300:90DC:E235:5074:54B0 (talk) 23:03, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
