Does not appear notable per WP:AUTHOR or WP:BIO. Seems to fail WP:GNG as well. Ahecht (TALK

Comment: I've cleaned out the worst of the sourcing, as much of it was WP:PRIMARY such as the guy's own website and a routine notification of an event. I also removed duplicates of the same source, as the same interview was posted in several different newspapers. For the original editor and anyone coming in, a news story is considered to be one source, regardless of where it is posted or re-posted. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:01, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's just too soon for an entry. There are two trade reviews and one interview, but not really anything else out there. If there was a review in a more solid source or another interview or news article somewhere, then it'd be different and maybe a weak keep, but he just doesn't pass notability guidelines at this point in time.

"'Keep"'. The cleaned version looks OK. Article could be improved over time. Nmwalsh (talk) 10:51, 12 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahecht (talk • contribs) [reply]
Delete, basically one debut book and contributions through other channels such as the 2paragraphs website and the New York Journal. My searches found a Reuters (saying the same thing as the Malaysian news link in the article), one review website that my computer said was "untrusted", other small review websites and primary links. Not much. It's not a terrible article but it could have some more substance. SwisterTwister talk 21:33, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
