Andrew Sesinyi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreferenced BLP article, too old to qualify for WP:BLPPROD. An author who is not wiki-notable, whose only book mentioned is also not notable. Ivanvector (talk) 22:29, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Not-notable, fails WP:N and WP:GNG. BenLinus1214 (talk) 22:41, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I've added a few sources with a quick google search. One book on Botswana literature mentions Sesinyi 28 separate times and goes in-depth on his writing style, philosophy and stories. I think this is a good example of Wikipedia's systemic bias against non-western topics. Keep and expand.--TM 01:34, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, per TM. Mentioned here are one of the handful of important Batswana writers—Brigade Piron (talk) 15:26, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Withdraw - good finds, TM. These didn't come up for me when I Googled. The rationale for deletion has been resolved; I propose withdrawing the nomination. Ivanvector (talk) 16:40, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , do you withdraw your "delete" too? czar ⨹   20:41, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdraw - Yes, it appears that the new sources have now made this article a viable stub. BenLinus1214 (talk) 03:31, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
