Challenged G11. Unambiguous promotion of a possibly notable subject. Content is not very encyclopedic. WP:NOT dictates that Wikipedia is not a place to promote. Mr. Guye (talk) 15:39, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: I'm genuinely not sure what the nom is referring to. I agree that "modern-sensibility-imbued" sounds a bit strange, but other than that...Brigade Piron (talk) 15:45, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, definitely not a G11 and from the references and links (except the one dead one) he seems to be notable enough for an article to be written. - filelakeshoe (t / c) 16:22, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (disclaimer: creator). I am pretty sure he passes Wikipedia:Notability (writers). Sources in English are sparse, but there are more in Polish, and presumably in Czech. Here's a Polish ref - article looks reliable - that he is one of the best known Czech fantasy and SF writers: [1]. His books have numerous reviews on Polish book/fantasy/sf websites, such as [2] or [3]. That said, I admit I am not finding any coverage of him in mainstream press, but then it's not that common for fantasy/sf writers to receive such coverage - we have plenty of English authors who were never mentioned in mainstream press (NYT, etc.) but are still undoubtedly notable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Enough coverage in reliable sources. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:43, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. I have added another reference to the article. Is it time for WP:SNOW yet? --Bejnar (talk) 01:56, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
