Talk:Roy F. Chandler

Notability

I doubt one brief interview about snipers with an even briefer mention of his books is enough to establish this persaon's notability as an author. The very limited distribution of some books (just a couple of thousand editions printed) doesn't help. Neither does the fact that his publisher, Iron Brigade Publishing, is a subsidary of Iron Brigade Armory which is owned by his son and sometimes co-author, Norman Chandler. The more I investigate, the more this article is looking like an advert for an author who might not meet Wikipedia's standards of notability. Astronaut (talk) 15:54, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Norm Chandler is not Roy's son they are brothers. Further, a body of work of more than 60 books, even if they are small editions, certainly speaks to a body and history of work. That body of work spans more than 40 years. In addition within the shooting community these works are considered primary source and provide information not found elsewhere. The combination of body of work and primary source nature of the books should satisfy the notability question. Jmdavis45 (talk) 23:51, 15 December 2013 (UTC)jmdavis45
