Can find no independant reliable confirmation of notability. Suspect this is a promotional autibiography. TheLongTone (talk) 08:32, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I am the article creator. Willie L Stewart is well known for being the first author in history to bring a lead character from a book and integrate him into all of social media for the public to interact with. This was first discussed by an independent online blogger March 1, 2013.  Willie L Stewart further challenged history by becoming the first author to create a rap video and rap song for a book. He is noted for utilizing ground breaking techniques to release a book that have never been used before.   Under Wikipedia inclusion guidelines Willie L Stewart's article should be included for the greater good of the library under "WP:AUTHOR" due to being recognized and known as The FIRST person Known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.  Willie L Stewart's techniques involved concepts not listed or tried anywhere else and have been noted in major online sources as such.

 * Delete Reads very much like a wiki designed for self-promotion. Limited local press coverage of a non-notable individual. Other sources are unreliable such as PRweb and PRNewswire which can be used by anyone to distribute their own press release. No independent verification of the claims from a reliable source, blogs don't count as WP:RS. Main contributor has clear conflict of interest,WP:COI, with the wiki and doesn't show a neutral point of view WP:NPOV. Potentially Speedy Delete under G11 of WP:SPEEDY.

 * Delete If there were reliable sources attesting to Stewart's innovations, he might be notable. But aside from a bit of local press coverage, he has not been the subject of reliable sources sufficient to meet WP:BASIC. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:00, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
