This author and his works were not covered anywhere except in self-published, primary sources, thus failing WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG. The article also mentions the author being a national skydiving champion, but I can't find any reliable sources to verify such a claim. Dps04 (talk) 18:07, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agreed on both counts. An article with this title was also deleted in March 2017.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:20, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise on how to submit documentation that support the legitimacy of the title "Victor Nickolich" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nordatlantic (talk • contribs)

Nordatlantic please see WP:REFSTART. As things stand this article is an unreferenced biography of a living person which cannot remain. AllyD (talk) 07:43, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nordatlantic, My starting places for sources - and generally a good indicator of whether there are significant sources to establish general notability are the news · newspapers · books · HighBeam · NYT · WP reference links from the {{Find sources}} links above. I am not finding anything other than the book The Lynx itself from these queries - so nothing that can be used as a source there. This may be a case of WP:TOOSOON as an WP:AUTHOR. I am not finding anything other than the book, which would need two independent reviews from sources like the New York Times, etc.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CaroleHenson, there is little to no information on the internet for personal events that occurred around 1977. However, I have a number of declassified documents that were exchanged between the U.S. Department of State, The American Embassy in Mexico City, and the American Interest Mission in Havana from December 1977 that can provide a source of information about Victor Nickolich's defection from the Cuban National Skydiving Team at the American Embassy in Mexico D.F. , and of his subsequent extraction to the United States. I also have personal references about the authorship of "The Lynx", which include Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Allied Commander (NATO) during the Obama administration, and John Fenzel, Former Army special forces colonel and author. I also have an article that references Victor Nickolich in Parachutist Magazine about Victor's participation as a member of the Cuban National team in the Pan American Skydiving Games in Peru in 1975. How can I introduce these sources in the article?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nordatlantic (talk • contribs) 21:28, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nordatlantic, I checked newspapers.com, and I got two hits since 1975, both of them are Letters to the editor signed by a Victor Nickolich. It's a subscription service, but you may be able to see the results page here.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
