I actually considered speedy and PROD as there's not much here and the best I found was only [https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=Gary+Raisor+horror+author this] and [https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=Gary+Raisor+horror+author#q=Gary+Raisor+horror+author this] (hardly much to save this). This honestly also hasn't improved since starting in December 2010 and there are no better signs of it happening. Notifying past user {{U|LadyofShalott}} and also {{U|DGG}}, {{U|Tokyogirl79}} and {{U|LaMona}} who may have some authors insight. SwisterTwister talk 07:23, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

• Keep. Two Bram Stoker awards is notability. That it hasn't improved in recent years is a reason to work on it not delete it. I really do not think we should ever be using "no improvement since ...." as a deletion rationale--WP has no deadline. DGG ( talk ) 07:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
• Keep. It took a while, but I managed to find some reviews of his work and I will also note that Raisor's work is routinely placed in "best of" compilations like [https://books.google.com/books?id=bcVlAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22Gary+Raisor%22&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Raisor%22 this one]. It wasn't the easiest task finding these since a large bulk of his work was published before the Internet and archiving coverage on the Internet were really things, but I think that there's just enough to assert at least a weak keep.

• Keep, meets WP:GNG, re article improvements by User:Tokyogirl79, also these show that Locus had a review[http://www.locusmag.com/2001/Issue07/Profile.html] and Necrofile another one[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?395660]. Coolabahapple (talk) 16:16, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Bram Stoker Award(s), also the reviews added recently meet WP:AUTHOR. Tangledupinbleu chs (talk) 02:40, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
