329:. I did some searching and there's just enough out there to warrant one entry for both the author and his works. Much of it is about his Warrior series, but I've found some sources for the author in general and his non-fiction books. I think that for now an article on him and a short section on the series as a whole is probably the best option here. I've merged some of the data, so at this point it's just a matter of continuing to work on the page and find what other sourceable information we can get to make his page more than just a short entry.
442:) The fiction stuff is easier to find sources for, but I just think that since there are mentions of his non-fiction work (especially in relation to his fictional series) and his career in general, an article on him would be better than just making an entry for the book series. It'd give us a way to make the information a little more rounded than just an entry on the book series. So far there's not much out there that can't be encompassed in the author's article.

461:) We could just create an article for the book series, but I really think that'd be limiting the amount of info we could include about Sidebottom's other works.

As far as his non-fiction work is concerned, every academic gets some quotations by others; that doesn't mean anything. I see no signs that his influence in the field is anywhere near the threshold of

I did see where some of his stuff is used in various classrooms, specifically his book
Ancient Warfare, so his non-fiction work does have a bit of a reach beyond his own college. (
