 * Delete unless the Puschart Prize is enough on its own, as it does seem like a notable award. But I found no significant coverage beyond that, just minor mentions in reviews of his editorial work . Definitely not enough for GNG, but it is also possible I missed some reviews of his short story or book. Yvarta (talk) 18:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Pushcart Prize is a major prize, and there are a lot of Google hits, leading to coverage of the books he has edited and also to his works on minimalism and more.  One hit mentions New York Times coverage of his opening or taking over the bookstore (i didn't go get the NYT article).  The bookstore itself is possibly/likely notable;  we can have just a combo article. This source, for one, clarifies this is the one Kim Herzinger who also teaches at University of Houston–Victoria...all the Google hits are this person. -- do  ncr  am  05:25, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

 * delete He is not the NY bookstore owner. He teaches at a minor univeristy, but as a lecturer, a capacity in which colleges often hire writers.  The Pushcart Prize is a real honor, but it is given to a longish list of stories annually, and is not sufficient.  I ran his name through a Proquest search, where the owner of a popular bookstore got at least as many hits.  Almost all , perhaps all, of the hits on the Herzinger are in the form "Edited by Kim Herzinger" in reviews of the collections he has edited.   Not seeing anything like a profile for the college lecturer/editor.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:36, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep  My error.    I was assuming that the same guy could not be teaching in HOuston and running a NYC bookstore.  My mistake.  Lots of profiles. Keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:01, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Here: [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Kim+Herzinger%22+++site%3ANYTimes.com&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8} is a search on the archive of the NYTimes. Both local where it covered the local bookstoe, and and national in in mentioning him as an editor.16:17, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
