This article is about an author who does not meet notability. There are no independent sources writing about the author, nor are there any reviews of his fiction work Serum self-published through Xlibris. As a journalist, there is evidence his work has been published but without any sources writing about him, this only verifies he is a working journalist rather than a notable journalist. The PROD was contested and links added to the article presumably to demonstrate notability. I've reviewed those links and they are generally not independent of the source or is an article written by him. There is also a mention of him in somebody's thesis. None of these links establish notability, and indeed I had found many of them myself when doing my own search before placing a PROD on the article. Now bringing it to AFD for a fuller discussion.
