Does not state notability, no references, doesn't pass WP:BIO. SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 03:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep; It says he wrote The Last Seduction and co-wrote the story for Domino. The Last Seduction is widely regarded as one of the best thrillers of the 90s and it won several awards, even Roger Ebert noted it "got some of the best reviews of the year". Passes WP:BIO for writers; The person's work... has won significant critical attention, many highly respected sources (such as Variety) commented on Barancik's writing skills. I'll add more sources later. Masaruemoto 05:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Week Keep: Meets notability. Needs to cite references though. But it does vaguely pass WP:BIO. Tiptoety 05:19, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Masaruemoto. Maxamegalon2000 05:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

 * A lack of sources is never a reason for deletion. If an article lacks sources, we add them, and your "delete" !vote is even more misguided considering I had already said I would add sources later. Masaruemoto 23:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment; I have now added references to Barancik's writing from significant critics such as The Washington Post, Variety, James Berardinelli, etc. Masaruemoto 23:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep He's notable, just barely...  Tiptopper 20:50, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
