Question regarding sources edit

While I'm confident that the information in the article is correct (it agrees with biographical information I've read in the author's published books, only one of which I have at hand), I understand the need to beef up the sourcing. The nature of the online sources is not ideal, but they're all I'm able to access. The most extensive biographical details are from the author on his Amazon page - is this acceptable to cite as a source and to warrant preservation of the article? I've found that:

inline citations may be allowed to e-commerce pages such as that of a book on a bookseller's page or an album on its streaming-music page, in order to verify such things as titles and running times. Journalistic and academic sources are preferable, however, and e-commerce links should be replaced with non-commercial reliable sources if available.

Feedback from New Page Review process edit

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for this new article. Note that other editors have called for more citations, as the sources currently in the article do little more than announce Mr. Canter's existence..
