 * sources include "Less Is More: Alex Epstein’s Poetic Prose, The Jewish Week, an article form which a proper bio can be sourced.  "Most of the page is still blank: An interview with Alex Epstein," The Kenyon Review,, Almost Blue: Israel’s New Borges, an article about Epstein in The Forward , and quite a few more.  But I think these suffice to demonstrate that this writer passes WP:AUTHOR.  I suspect that Nom, User:Grayfell, searched this virtually unsourced author and found many other Alex Epsteins.  I searched, "Alex Epstein" + Israeli and immediately hit these 3, and more I do not cite.  More undoubtedly would come up with other keywords.  In sum, a patently notable author with an  unsourced stub of an article, what else is new?E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:10, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
