Marked as lacking sources and having failed to establish notability for >1 year. The author has allegedly received a Casa de las Americas prize, though no reference is provided, and the importance of this award is not even stated on the page for that award. Was apparently mentioned once in the LA Times. Other than that, no indication of this individual meeting WP:AUTHOR. Bueller 007 (talk) 22:49, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Withdraw (by nominator). Based on the evidence mentioned below and added to both of these articles, I withdraw the nomination. Bueller 007 (talk) 01:22, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – I have added another book review and a biographical cite  that confirms that he got the award. The Casa de las Américas Prize is a major award – the Pulitzer Prize of Latin American literature. Our article didn't really make that clear, so I revised and expanded it. Now I think you can check the references to verify that it's a big award. Being selected as the first recipient in the new (as of 1976) category for writing in English was an honor. He has had a long career since then, so I think he's notable as a Caribbean author. – Margin1522 (talk) 11:30, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
