I've put the text here for you to work on.

It's very first person and unencyclopeadic, with personal views and commentaries, and the interminable list of everything he's written are unhelpful. Better to mention the most important works/article in proper prose than just dump everything. Have a look at Tina Fey to get an idea of structure. You don't need that amount of data or fancy formatting (it's a Good Article), or as many refs, just to give you an idea of srtucture and style Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:13, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

For some reason, entries on Daniel Genis, the writer and journalist famous for doing ten years in prison and writing a book about it, get deleted. Daniel Genis is a well known writer, journalist and critic. NPR had devoted an entire episode to his story and work, Penguin is releasing his memoir 1,046 in 2016 after a six figure deal and he has been profiled in many outlets including the New Yorker and the New York Daily News. . He has published about 75 articles since he got out. He is also the son of Alexander Genis, a famous Russian public intellectual. 855,000 people read an article of his. Studios are bidding on the options, and his column in Vice is a big deal. Two and a half thousand people follow him on twitter. Meanwhile, I saw this guy on the screen: Tim Genis. A cymbal player? You're deleting a man who doesn't need cymbals; millions of people have read his work and heard his voice. And he was in prison, like, a year ago, and now he writes for Newsweek, goes on talk shows and is known around the world, ,. Of all the entries on living people, Daniel Genis is not notable enough? We wait for every new text... this must be a mistake, or could it be because he committed crimes? It just doesn't make sense and I took the time to put a bunch of references in for you. But really, it's all on Google. There is a lot of Daniel Genis if you just type his name in. The site is cool too. Please correct this wrong.

Hello again. I'm sorry, I'm not very good at doing what you asked, but I found this in a draft. It seems to be formatted correctly and has first the links to a bunch of published work about Daniel Genis, then a list of his published work, although that isn't up to date, I think. I cannot make a whole page, but there used to be one. Or maybe one of his readers will make one? Judging by the feedback, they are very fervent. Thanks a lot for your time. So here is what I found:

1046: A Decade Between Books and Misdemeanors
1046 is a memoir of the decade that Daniel Genis spent in prison, told through the books he read. This site will contain the actual book list, which is too massive to publish but is an interesting resource. 1046 is due out next year, care of Penguin Books. The editor is Rick Kot; the agency is Mary Evans Inc. And my keeper is Julia Kardon, a whirlwind of success, strategy and smarts. The actual booklist, which briefly describes all 1046 books the Genis read, is going up in hundred entry segments. You might notice that the first 100, which date from the end of 2003 and Rikers Island to the 2004 and the beginning of life in state prison, are not especially good or challenging books. I read for escapism then. The enlightenment came later...
