fails WP:AUTHOR (particularly criteria 1 and 4), found very limited coverage of this author such as [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-96122904/tim-metcalf-corvus-book.html] and [http://www.abc.net.au/water/stories/s1923634.htm?backyard] but not much else. simply winning 1 not well known award (it's not a national award) doesn't grant automatic notability.

  • Delete as I could not find significant coverage of this person to pass WP:AUTHOR. ArcAngel (talk) 00:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - I'm pretty sure I've met this person, and with all due respect to him he's not (yet) notable. (Certainly not per WP:AUTHOR). And while we're at it, with regrets to the fine people at the ACT Writer's Centre, who I definitely HAVE met, the ACT Writing and Publishing Awards aren't notable either (they're a short step above vanity press), although at least one of the recipients is. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:18, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep Nice stub on a notable author and doctor. He's won some awards. Published several works. Seems fine to me. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep. it's a stub about an author who seems to meet the notability requirements. Article is adequately referenced. Gillyweed (talk) 13:30, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep He seems to be notable in a local sort of way. Won some notable awards, written up in the local news. RayTalk 13:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
