This appears to be a non-notable puff piece/vanity spam. I don't see any reviews of his works and no coverage of him. Praxidicae (talk) 23:57, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete real issues with PROMO as indicated by the NOM. Fails NAUTHOR and GNG, so no indication of notability either. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:32, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. Here is the link to the writer (the link was broken, I don't know why: I added it again and now it works.
 * And I have the links to his books and screenplays, give it some time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross kramerov (talk • contribs) 05:51, 30 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete as PROMO for an activist, searched gNews and proqest newspapers and came up absolutely empty.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:19, 30 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment. There is a PDF file in form of screen-shots from the newspaper about the author's getting the Shider award. How can I add it to the references? RossK 19:07, 30 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep (Article author)
 * Important Update regarding Corey Lee Wilson:
 * I was able to locate and add two important links:
 * 1) His membership in the National Writers Union (the first link come back as broken, but if you click: then "Find a writer" and put the name of the author "Corey Wilson", it will show these results: Wilson, Corey Corona CA Labor / Workers Issues, Politics and Government	Academic Writing and Editing, Features Writing, Magazine Writing, Newspaper Writing, Public Speaking, Script Writing
 * 2) A PDF file to the Laurel magazine of Phi Kappa Tau about Shider Award in 1985:
 * I hope these two links will help to reconsider the deletion and prove more notability. For at least you can leave a Notice for more citations at this time. RossK 19:36, 30 May 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross kramerov (talk • contribs)


 * Comment. Removed the SAPIENT Being part and civil activity so it won't look like a PROMO (this is the last thing we need here).
 * I will upload more links later tonight to solidify the article with more sources of informationRossK 21:06, 30 May 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross kramerov (talk • contribs)


 * Comment. Added one more link to the Laurel Magazine of 1997 as a proof that the author indeed received the Shideler AwardRossK 18:36, 31 May 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross kramerov (talk • contribs)
 * I think you need a crash course in reliable sources and notability because this article is pretty much the exact opposite of this. A non-notable award is meaningless. Google drive is not a source. IMDB is not a source. The rest are not valid sources to establish any form of notability. Please also condense your comments and format them properly as it makes this AFD impossible to follow. Further trying to pass off the Shideler award as if it was for his writing is deceiving. It's not.Praxidicae (talk) 18:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I never indicated that the Shideler Award was for his writing achievements but it is a part of Corey Biography. Instead, I put his list of  publications. Question: Can the link to the Writer's Union count as a reliable one? If you put in search the author's name on the website, it appears there. I understand about IMDb and Google Drive - I just couldn't find anything else.  Ross kramerov (talk)19:25, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not seeing any evidence of WP:BIO being met. As an aside, in doing some research on the subject I came across the fratire article, which looked to have been hijacked by an IP to focus on Wilson and his publishing company. &mdash; Rhododendrites  <sup style="font-size:80%;">talk \\ 14:14, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fishy. WP:BEFORE fails to find any other sources. Current refs fail WP:GNG and WP:RS, very minor/SPS, there's even a Google Drive link there. All books published by "Fratire Publishing" (consider the usage of S.A.P.I.E.N.T on the publisher about page and subject homepage - what are the odds? WP:DUCK it's WP:SPS, so clear fail at WP:NAUTHOR), one in the 1980s and then several in 2018? Awards? Very minor too. Article created by WP:SPS. The sources are so poor this could be a hoax, but probably it's just the run-of-the-mill vanity/promo hackjob. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:51, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
