fails WP:AUTHOR (particularly criteria 1 and 4), found very limited coverage of this author such as and  but not much else. simply winning 1 not well known award (it's not a national award) doesn't grant automatic notability.

 * Delete as I could not find significant coverage of this person to pass WP:AUTHOR. ArcAngel (talk) 00:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm pretty sure I've met this person, and with all due respect to him he's not (yet) notable. (Certainly not per WP:AUTHOR).  And while we're at it, with regrets to the fine people at the ACT Writer's Centre, who I definitely HAVE met, the ACT Writing and Publishing Awards aren't notable either (they're a short step above vanity press), although at least one of the recipients is.  - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:18, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Nice stub on a notable author and doctor. He's won some awards. Published several works. Seems fine to me. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. it's a stub about an author who seems to meet the notability requirements.  Article is adequately referenced. Gillyweed (talk) 13:30, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep He seems to be notable in a local sort of way. Won some notable awards, written up in the local news. Ray  Talk 13:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
