Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted.
 * You provided a dump of links at the end, but because they are not in-line, we can't tell what claims each is supporting. Note that his own page, pages he can edit and affiliated pages, like that of his publisher, are not acceptable as reputable third-party references
 * If the claim of 10 million books sold is true, he may be notable, but their is no in-line reference to support that claim.
 * Only one paragraph is about him, the rest is basically spam for his books. There is nothing about his life apart from a date of birth and that he is Russian. We don't know where he was born or how he was educated, it's basically "he's a writer".


 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * An unsourced spammy claim presented as fact: became famous as a master of
 * Most of the article is a supposed bibliography, but actually spam for his books, with plot summaries. A bibliography should have just an uncommented list of the main works, with title, publisher, year and ISBN only
 * You have an Awards section, which in itself looks spammy since you have no corresponding section of criticism. It's a long list of non-notable (most have no Wikipedia article) and and unsourced awards. You would do better to mention a few significant awards, with references, in proper prose.

I hope this clarifies. Please think carefully before you post the article again; if it's basically more of the same, I'll protect the title from further creations. Thanks, Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:27, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
