This page does not meet Wikipedia's requirements for notability. The books mentioned are available on Amazon, but are not actually in print and aren't sold in stores. The national TV appearances mentioned cannot be found via search engines. The book signings and appearances cannot be found via search engines. The awards the book has won cannot be found via search engines. This person has not published any actual major works of literature or journalism that can be found when searching for them on search engines. The most notable thing in the article is this person meeting Bob Woodruff, but that does not make him personally notable. The information about this person's work is poorly sourced and questionable.

 * An ebook author (Somebody who doesn't have their writings in print. Someone like me who has 23 ebooks for sale at Amazon) can be notable. I checked on Kadado's publisher. There is a facebook page and a dead webpage for a Moore Publishing of Michigan. So I don't think he was self-published (BTW I am self-published and done alright enough for myself to form a S corporation for my books), but one 98 page ebook (or 23 ebooks of various lengths) without acclaim or awards isn't going to make its author WP notable....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:30, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Appreciate the note, and while both self-published and ebook authors can certainly be notable. This author's work does not pass as notable, the books have not won awards, have not received acclaim and are not even in print. Note the publisher's dead webpage and inactive Facebook page. This page seems to have been created for past promotional purposes, but lacks relevancy considering the publisher is not active and the books are unavailable. Author is not WP notable.Anon11000 (talk) 16:43, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

The lack of information, proper sourcing and conversation about this person/page online highlights lack of notability. Seems to be a purely promotional page, linking books that are not in print. Not a significant journalist that has done enough relevant work. Should be nixed. Anon11000 (talk) 15:17, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete student journalist with unique name, making him easy to search, fails WP:JOURNALIST despite a moment in a very minor spotlight.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete he got a special selection to work on a journalism team when he was in high school (or maybe not that), this is not the stuff notability is made of. My sister-in-law Emma Penrod has multiple books that are actually in print, was a reporter for the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune and now free lances for publications like the High Country Times and the Utah Business Magazine. She is much closer to being notable than Kadado, but is clearly not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:13, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Appears to fail WP:JOURNALIST as well as WP:ANYBIO or simply WP:BASIC/WP:GNG. Sam Sailor 10:06, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
