Self-serving autobiography of a not-notable-enough writer User234 (talk) 09:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Think I'll leave my deletionist hat off for this one. The awards received plus the small amount of press coverage are enough to show notability. Kevin (talk) 11:04, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I think there is enough there to establish notability.   GB fan  talk 11:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would agree that there is notability (He had me at Editor of North American Review), and this article seems to be reasonably structured and sourced. It's also remarkably neutral, given that it was written by the subject. Indeed, had I not looked into the images, I would not have known that the author was also the subject. Issues with the authorship aside, this article in and of itself meets our criteria for inclusion. I have notified the author of the AFD nomination, and cautioned them to review our COI and Autobiography policies - something that no one had asked them to do, as yet.

 * Keep. In addition to what has already been said above, he also probably meets WP:PROF criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). One of this books, Radical Visions, is held by 439 WorldCat libraries. COI issues aside, it is a well written and organized article.--Eric Yurken (talk) 00:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
