The article fails WP:GNG. The subject of this article has not received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. The references cited in the article are not independent of the subject. Versace1608 (Talk) 20:10, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The awards listed are not notable; no evidence that the subject meets WP:ARTIST or any other criteria of biographical notability. AllyD (talk) 06:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Move: After further research and consideration, I believe that this article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I'd like to move it back to my user space. Warsage (talk) 06:16, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Userfy There is no indication of WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. He has published some books, but they all appear to be self-published. There just isn't any independent indication of notability. He may eventually be notable, but he isn't now. I am One of Many (talk) 04:10, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
