I noticed that the article was tagged with the notability template. In support of the article's notability, I would like to offer the following examples. Per WP:ANYBIO, "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times". Barker's books have been twice nominated and once won for the British Fantasy Award for Best Novel. He additionally has one nomination for the Morningstar Award.
Also, per WP:AUTHOR 4 (c): "The person's work (or works) has...(c) won significant critical attention" which I believe is covered by the above awards.
In fairness I did create the article and I am an inclusionist so I am biased in this regard. I would be happy to discuss with other editors and listen to other opinions. Michelangelo1992 (talk) 15:16, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
