  • Delete. This writer may in fact be published, but I don't see any compelling reason this guy meets WP:Notability. I noticed at least a couple of the references were added by the editor of an online journal (Smokelong Quarterly) that redirect to his site. Seems to violate WP:COI. That aside, after a search didn't find anything in terms of awards or distinguishing characteristics of the writings that warrant a page for author. Jimsteele9999 (talk) 15:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep—He seems notable enough. His Double Fish story was the winner of The Missouri Review's Jeffrey E. Smith Editors' Prize.[http://www.missourireview.org/content/dynamic/text_detail.php?text_id=2400] He received a 2010 prose fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.[http://www.nea.gov/features/writers/writersCMS/writer.php?id=10_14] &c.

  • Keep - In addition to the above, his work has also been reviewed. For example, [http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071118/ENTERTAINMENT05/711180321 this] is published in GoErie but is a reprint from the LA Times. -- Whpq (talk) 16:53, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
