 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unreferenced article about a writer, not making any strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. His strongest notability claim (actually missed entirely by the article as written) is that he was once a nominee for (but not a winner of) a regional (not national) literary award, which would be fine if the article were well referenced but is in no way "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have any referencing -- but even on a WP:BEFORE search I'm really only finding primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence rather than substantive WP:GNG-building coverage about him or his writing.

 * Delete. Only found profile pages of the subject on websites that he belongs to, or trivial mentions in books/news articles. Lacks significant coverage to pass WP:AUTHOR. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 15:50, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
