The subject requested deletion via OTRS citing privacy concerns and that he does not believe he is notable enough for a Wikipedia entry. I took a look and I don't think the article meets the notability guidelines. Most of the sources are about topics related to his writing. The few that are directly about him (currently [1] and [2]) are an interview and a blog co-written by his friends (see note at the bottom of the blog post). As such, they are not reliable sources.
