Back when this article was created last December, it was proded only to be contested. Since then, the article hasn't established notability, so I'm nominating it for deletion. I am also nominating the following articles because they were created by the same user at the same time, are similarly light novels under Dengeki Bunko, and all don't satisfy claims of notability:

Delete all. A Google search shows lots of hits, but none of them are the reliable coverage needed to establish notability. Feel free to correct me however, as I can't read Japanese, and there may be sites I may have missed due to language issues. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:49, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All - With the notable exception of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere there is no genre crossover for much of Kawakami's light novel series into anime, never mind translation into EN. With the exception of Horizon, none of these series merits a stand-alone article in the absence of a serious biographical article in EN for Kawakami himself. His winning of the Dengeki Novel Prize in 1996 is notable [1] and he passes WP:ENT even with the scarcity of WP:RS on him due to sheer volume of his work and visibility of his light novels to JP readership, but this means he needs a biographical article, not low quality stub articles for different series he's written.
