Non-notable academic and author, vanity self-bio. Miracle Pen (talk) 16:57, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to fall short of WP:PROFESSOR and as an author. Notability comes up short.  Dennis Brown (talk) 17:52, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Neutral After seeing addition cites, will withdraw delete rationale. The cites herein aren't strong enough to warrant a 'keep' !vote, but enough to stay neutral.  Dennis Brown (talk) 14:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Winning an award from the Guardian for the year's best book in a subject area is a much more notable achievement than winning one of those specialty porn awards that, by unfortunate consensus, virtually guarantee notability. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:16, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. While I share the nominator's concern concerning WP:AUTOBIO, I agree with Hullaballoo that the award here is sufficient grounds for notability. WP:AUTHOR considers it sufficient if "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.", and a Guardian award, coupled with other independent reviews seems to pass that mark.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep: If HW agrees subject is notable, the venn diagram portion of those who would find otherwise is quite small, so there won't be a consensus to delete it.--Milowent • talkblp-r 03:13, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
