This person does not have sustained or sufficient public notability or published work to be considered a figure of encyclopedic standards. Previous deletion nominations, beginning from 2008, support this contention. The page references an upcoming work in the year 2008 which, as of 2014, has not seen publication. Either the page should be annotated with more current sources, specifically speaking to the subject's present status in public knowledge, or it should be deleted. This writer, with a single publication, still does not meet WP:BIO despite additional secondary, if not significantly dated, sources.
 * Comment I fixed and completed the nom for IP 50.158.158.251. 6 an 6 sh 6 04:07, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Limited notability in the Chicago area, none outside of it. His second book is due for the fall of 2014 and as with his first book, is published by a small, non notable publisher. Part time faculty at a local Chicago college. Unfortunately, the first AfD kept the article on what proved to be an errant notion that this guy would produce more literature.

 * Weak delete per Safiel. Regional notability, most of it based on offline sources we have to AGF. And this has not changed since 2008? At best, userfy as a case of WP:UPANDCOMING/WP:TOOSOON. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:55, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
