I do not believe the subject meets WP:Author or WP:GNG. There's almost no coverage of this person other than a few expected links (amazon, goodreads, own website etc) and the awards listed are not notable. Rayman60 (talk) 01:55, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep the encyclopedia.com article is sig coverage in an established reliable source here and his books have been reviewed in reliable sources such as Publishers Weekly, also New York Times article which profiles him and is referenced in the encyclopedia.com article, passes WP:BASIC Atlantic306 (talk) 02:42, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't mean to be rude but, Rayman60, do you follow me around and seek todelete what I write? My article Randall Hicks was well researched and he is notable in his field, and you seek to delete that. Now you are doing it again here with this article I created. Brian Wiprud has many books out, they are well reviewed by substantial sources. Wikipedia should constantly grow with new authors and people. Thanks.
