Delete. Appears to only have the one novel out and I can find no coverage of this author in the last decade. There is a single review of his novel in Publishers Weekly (link) plus the Vice documentary, but by itself that's not enough to prove he meets notability guidelines. That said, he's still a young author so this article may simply be a case of Wikipedia:Too soon. If he publishes more works and receives corresponding coverage proving notability, we can always recreate the article. --SouthernNights (talk) 12:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
