Non-notable writer. The two sources for the article have problems: one is an alumni newsletter and one has nothing to do with the subject (he is mentioned in passing). Fails to meet WP:BIO standards. Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 01:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. Those are prominent journals he's published in and it looks as though he has won a number of awards VASterling (talk) 01:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and add more biographical details and description of literary style and award winning works. Cullen328 (talk) 04:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Article could use work, but the subject is notable per comments above Vrivers (talk) 12:25, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. It would help if those opining "keep" could tell us what independent reliable sources we can use to improve this article. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:32, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment He has short profiles on the Sewanee and Kerouac Foundation websites. I do see the problem:  these don't meet WP:RS; on the other hand, he is a Kerouac Fellow and a Sewannee Scholar, and journals like New England Review and The Southern Review are the best around.  Humanities Index confirms the publications, but I don't know if that's enough to meet our reliable source requirements--although I hope it is, because if not, we're setting a very high bar for short story authors  Vrivers (talk) 11:11, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
