Seems like a non-notable author. Though one of his books was reviewed in the New York Review of Books by Martin Gardner and another one's title may have served as the basis of a Gil Scott-Heron song, it is unclear that this satisfied the requirements of WP:BIO. jps (talk) 02:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Per his obituary in The New York Times  he passes both WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE as the author of multiple works that have received coverage in reliable sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:45, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. His two Broadway plays only lasted a few days each, but a NYT obituary is pretty solid evidence of notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:31, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to meet WP:WRITER with multiple reviews of The Poison that Fell from the Sky cited in article (not all online) and We Almost Lost Detroit also having its own article. Are the Kids All Right? was controversial in its time and received widespread coverage too. And here's an article from OMNI on archive.org. I've tidied up the article and added some refs, though it needs improvement; but coverage in New York Times indicates he's likely to have also been discussed in other lesser newspapers that are less easy to find. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:27, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
