Seems to fail WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR, majority of sources are of poor reliability (Amazon, etc.). I am not seeing any significant coverage in independent, mainstream sources here. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:42, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's too new to show up in the Google News archive results, but note that there was also this review of his work, published just last week in Maclean's, here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:08, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Another published author who I think easily passes WP:BIO,WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG. Sources are solid, but the article are full of weasel words, possibly Copyvio's which suggests substantial parts of the article need rewritten or removed. I've done a search and it's fully Copyvio, straight from Amazon. It needs to be removed. scope_creep talk 18:34, 06 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:AUTHOR #3. Most of the current sources need to be deleted as unreliable primary-source and book-seller links. However there are many other reliable book reviews. Reviews include: ABC Bookworld (multiple), Canadian Literature, Western American Literature, The Journal of English and German .., Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature, South Atlantic Review, BC Studies: British Columbian Quarterly, The Bull Calf. Further this source from the American Literary Realism says "David Stouck's widely influential book, Willa Cather's Imagination (1975).." -- Green Cardamom (talk) 00:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Green Cardamom. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 17:44, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
