Does not pass NBOOK. The two sources are interviews with the author/basic summaries. I was unable to find more in a search of several review databses. Author is also nominated for deletion, with his only claim to notability being his authorship of this book: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John R. Hall (author).

- The second reference is linked to a page that is archived, but the video with the majority of the content was not archived. I do see a couple of other articles (particularly one by the LA Times) that could make this pass notability by Criteria 1. I see no evidence of awards, use in the wider community, or use in independent instruction. No opinion at this time.

- The LA Times piece is not a review, or any commentary/sigcov on the book. It mentions the book for one sentence. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:04, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

- Delete, can't find any RS reviews or non-passing mentions, in news or scholarly sources (e.g. ProQuest, JSTOR, etc). The LA times article is an interview so it doesn't help for establishing notability either. ScalarFactor (talk) 00:23, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to John R. Hall (author) (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

- Fine by me, if that article survives it will be fine to redirect, and if it doesn't then it will get deleted with it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:55, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
