WP:BLP of an academic and writer, not referenced to any reliable source coverage about him for the purposes of passing our notability standards for either occupation. Eight of the nine footnotes here are primary sources that cannot support notability at all, such as pieces of his own writing about other subjects, the Amazon buy-it pages of other pieces of his own writing, a random issue of a newspaper that he owns being cited as sourcing for the fact that he owns it, and a Facebook post. And the only source here that might represent reliable source coverage about him is a dead link which isn't even recoverable via the Wayback Machine to verify how much it did or didn't say about him. As always, a person gets over Wikipedia's inclusion criteria by being the subject of the sources, not the author of them. Bearcat (talk) 17:14, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. The subject did rate one non-independent mention in Caribbean News Now, and is cited as a source in a few books and articles. However, nothing seems to indicate that the subject meets WP:PROF or WP:CREATIVE, and the absence of multiple independent reliable sources that substantially cover the subject means the subject fails WP:GNG.
