Does not appear to have any significant notability. Bazonka (talk) 22:57, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: You might want to look into adding Dream War to this, as it's another article added by the same editor and seems to only have a handful of coverage from local papers.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:33, 3 March 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * Delete. While he has had a handful of articles written about him during the contest, there weren't any articles written about him in reliable secondary sources that shows that the contest was anything other than WP:ONEEVENT. I had to re-write the article because the text was misleading: it stated that he won a "top five finalist award" when in reality it was that he got to the final round and didn't win the contest, making him a finalist. If the book gets added, I'd suggest deleting it under the same premise, especially since the links in the book article are more about Prosapio and the contest than the actual book, if that makes any sense.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:12, 3 March 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79

 * Keep Three independent, non-trivial, RS'es means he meets GNG. I note that these are the same three as the novel, which suggests that a single article could adequately cover both. Jclemens (talk) 01:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment: The only problem is that the articles were done in a very brief point of time (between May and October 2007) and there haven't been any other articles to show that the author has any lasting notability. Three articles written during the span of a competition isn't exactly a lot of coverage to show notability, especially since nobody has written another news article about him since 2007. I don't see where there's really any depth of coverage.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:20, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON and WP:ANYBIO. Likely autobiography. A sources are local coverage of a single, non-notable novel. User:Tokyogirl79 points out correctly no depth of coverage and no enduring interest. Self-promotion, and we're not here to advertise. BusterD (talk) 13:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
