Talk:Myron Levoy

I think we should be on more solid ground now – in addition to his obituary from Publisher's Weekly, there are also the entries about him in Writers of multicultural fiction for young adults and Something About the Author (hooray for the Internet Archive for making those works easily accessible). Plus while the actual text itself in Speaking for Ourselves is autobiographical, the fact that he was included in that book in the first place shows that at that time he was considered notable enough by a selection of teachers from the NTCE (see the preface of that book for the methodology on how authors were selected for inclusion in that book).

Additionally, he might arguably possibly qualify under WP:Author criterion 3 as well: He wrote Alan and Naomi, which won multiple awards/honours when it came out, has been translated into multiple foreign languages and was e.g. often a part of the high school literature curriculum in Germany (certainly up into the early 2000s/2010s, maybe even today?), so arguably "significant or well-known". Beyond that, Alan and Naomi was both subject of multiple independent reviews (as per Green 1996 nationally at least in both NYTBR and Horn Book), as well as turned into a film as well, thereby satisfying both alternative options of the second clause.

While I feel that e.g. the paragraph about his work could do with a little more expanding (though I don't yet have a good idea on how best to summarise e.g. the relevant section from Green 1996), I think this needn't necessarily block getting the article back into main space.
