I don't believe the subject of the article can pass a notability check, nor do I believe the references used in the article count as "reliable secondary sources" as such. The bulk of them are pages confirming that the subject has won a number of minor competitions but none of them discuss the subject at any length. The article reads to me like it was created to promote the subject. In the edit history, most of the content added to the page comes from an anonymous IP, which is likely the subject of the article themselves.

Googling the subject of the article does not bring up any notable coverage such as in newspapers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CeltBrowne (talk • contribs) 18:34, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

• Keep. The publication record, of actual books, makes him seem notable Bartash (talk) 20:01, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
• Keep - There is room to improve, but this has developed over time with many editors, and the content seems more than enough to meet our standards. I do not see major WP:PROMO concerns, and the person is evidenced in sources over an extended period. This does not even seem a marginal case. SeoR (talk) 08:29, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
