 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment I see a NYFA award and one Kirkus review; the other sources don't look as strong. Is this all? BTW the last AfD had exactly two legit keep !votes, and some socking. - Bri.public (talk) 18:46, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , This encyclopedia entry looked strong to me. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 01:06, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Eh, it's a stretch to call that an encyclopedia article. That's a listing in Contemporary Authors. czar  17:28, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete. When reviewing authors, it's worth taking a look to their book reviews. Even if his books do not warrant separate articles, multiple reviews across several books makes the author article at least into a place to aggregate those reviews. I wouldn't give trade pubs like PW much credit for paragraph-long articles but there are several external reviews that put the author on the cusp of notability. Only reviews in Book Review Index are Kirkus and PW. I'd look for at least three reviews from non-trade pubs. Ping me if you find more? I wouldn't give much credence to the 2017 discussion, which lacked sources.  czar  17:37, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
