Fails WP:NAUTHOR. Only source that could contribute to notability is in reference to a Twitter spat about antisemitism a few years back CiphriusKane (talk) 12:57, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Simon Maginn:

Just seeing this, my apologies for delay. Using Newspapers.com, and the various possibilities for naming, Vore shows up as: J. Michael Vore, John (Mike) Vore, John Michael Vore, John Michael Vore, John M. Vore, John Vore. There are similarly named people in Kansas and Montana. All citations about Vore relate to him living in Indiana or Chicago, Illinois.

I can list actual newspapers articles with each of this, if it is needed.

 * Weak keep. Passes criteria 3 of WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG. There are significant reviews of his books and plays offline/behind pay walls which I accessed. See below:
