The article is lacking sources, with one main source being a personal website that is no longer active. Web searches can not find a history of the noted awards or two of the novels as existing.

It also appears this page may have been created by the subject himself, as the same account created a page for the subject's wife, both of which are against Wikipedia policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chart76 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 11 August 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Discussion was never transcluded to Articles for deletion until now Please add new comments below this notice.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete The only secondary source is the second one, a review of a book they wrote, however notability is not inherited, so there are no valid sources, and I could not find any other sources. There's also an interview linked in the external links section, however that's nowhere near sufficient coverage for an article by itself. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:26, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per Pppery. The subject's wife's article, Doni Tamblyn, looks like it may also not meet the current notability standards as they have changed rather significantly since the 2008 AfD. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:16, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
