 * Delete. This writer may in fact be published, but I don't see any compelling reason this guy meets WP:Notability. I noticed at least a couple of the references were added by the editor of an online journal (Smokelong Quarterly) that redirect to his site. Seems to violate WP:COI. That aside, after a search didn't find anything in terms of awards or distinguishing characteristics of the writings that warrant a page for author. Jimsteele9999 (talk) 15:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep&mdash;He seems notable enough. His Double Fish story was the winner of The Missouri Review's Jeffrey E. Smith Editors' Prize. He received a 2010 prose fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. &c. Regards, RJH (talk) 16:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
