May fail Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. I struggled to find multiple reliable secondary sources. Perhaps others will have different luck for Mr. Clark! SarahStierch (talk) 07:29, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Note that there's another author called Trevor Clark, British colonial administrator and author of The Last Generation of Nigeria's Turawa and memoir Good Second Class; he seems to have got more reviews. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:32, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable. -- GreenC  07:54, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Although I recognize that there is a referencing problem here as things currently stand, the fact that his 2012 book is currently a shortlisted nominee for the ReLit Awards should properly boost his notability. That said, I'm having the same problem finding good secondary sources for much of anything beyond the award shortlist itself, so while I'd like to cast a "keep" vote I just can't. Accordingly, I'd request that the article get moved into my sandbox, instead of being deleted outright, so that I can work on getting it up to a more keepable standard in the future.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Not yet notable. He probably will be if he winds the prize, but short-listed is not enough except for the very most famous prizes, such as the Booker.  DGG ( talk ) 08:59, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
