Adam Davies is an author; that's legitimately all I can find about him other than primary sources about him or his books. I am also nominating his book for the same reason; not only can I not find any significant coverage, but the alleged 2011 film does not appear to have ever been made.

- Keep. There's reviews of The Frog King in Publisher's Weekly here; in the Baltimore Sun here; and Kirkus Reviews here. There's reviews of Goodbye Lemon in Willamette Weekly here; the Observer here; the Portland Mercury here; the Chicago Tribune here; and KSL here. There's reviews of his book Mine All Mine in SFGate here; Publisher's Weekly here; and the Review Journal here. He's read at Coastal Carolina University here. There's coverage on the author in Sarasota Magazine here; the Herald Tribune here; and the Oklahoma Gazette here. I'm actually pretty confused about this nomination. --Kbabej (talk) 02:19, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
*Comment The topic seems notable but it is not cited with any reference. JoyStick101 (talk) 07:32, 30 April 2022 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE CT55555 (talk) 16:01, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @JoyStick101! Sources just need to exist, not necessarily be present in the article (although the latter is preferable long term). Per WP:CONRED, "If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination." --Kbabej (talk) 22:17, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Kbabej has provided all the evidence needed; there's nothing more to add. Both articles are stubs, and neither are great, but neither need TNT and I don't think redirecting one into another would be of any help to anyone. -- asilvering (talk) 23:25, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- I should add: the mention of the 2011 film is indeed very strange and the IMDB link goes nowhere, so I've simply removed it. If someone wants to add it back in with a source, by all means do so. -- asilvering (talk) 23:28, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Kbabej won me over. — Ret.Prof (talk) 00:32, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
