Subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources Meatsgains (talk) 02:03, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. A search brought up very, very little to establish notability. Most of the coverage for him is WP:TRIVIAL, as it just mentions that he was somewhere or was affiliated with someone. Trivial sources cannot give notability and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by any association with notable persons or locations. The best source is the literary journal, however that by itself isn't enough to establish notability and the other sources aren't enough to establish notability as they're all essentially primary or trivial. It also doesn't help that this is one of several articles written in a walled garden. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  02:49, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, borderline WP:CSD in fact. No evidence of notability, and strong suspicions that this is a vanity article. To resurrect a temr of art from olden times: vanispamcruftisement. Guy (Help!) 08:16, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

 * SNOW Delete as by far nothing for WP:AUTHOR or WP:PROF. SwisterTwister   talk  22:46, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This academic has published a couple of books, one of which gets a mention in a Boston Globe review of literary news, but this is not sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:BASIC. Also, I note the related Draft:Sean Frederick Forbes, where this article was developed. Drchriswilliams (talk) 05:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fan/vanity page that does not satisfy any notability criteria. Agricola44 (talk) 15:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC).
