 * Delete. Not only is the entire article not properly sourced, but it's also pretty blatantly non-neutrally written. "Most of his peers consider him a “young” Murakami, sharing similar ideas, and focusing on literary fiction with metaphysical elements." Considering that none of the sources in the article make that claim, this is pretty much original research. It's not so overly promotional that I think it could be speedied for promotional issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a snow close. He's clearly not notable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. Lack of reviews in reliable sources.  Self-published.  No other indication of importance.  I wondered if it was a hoax because some of his book titles are hilarious, but I guess you can call a self-published work anything you like. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:58, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
