 * Keep. Satisfies GNG and AUTHOR with multiple periodical reviews.

Kirkus has review of Lenny and Mel After School Confidential  and Miracle Wimp . Publishers Weekly has reviews of Lenny and Mel, Lenny and Mel After School Confidential , Lenny and Mel's Summer Vacation  and Miracle Wimp . Other coverage:  . There are almost three thousand holdings of Kraft's books in WorldCat member libraries: . The fact the article creator's user name is "Elkrafto" does not, in of itself, prove he is Erik Kraft.

 * Keep per James. I will note that I'm more inclined than him to believe the autobio but there's nothing in there which is not similar to other children's authors stubs. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:23, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep ran a news archive search on: Chocolatina  +  Kraft.  Then on his other books.  not finding profiles, but enough coverage of books to pass AUTHOR.  E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:51, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. despite the rather obvious COI.  Sufficient notability  DGG ( talk ) 06:40, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
