I added the infobox and moved information there. There are some problems with the article, and some I do not know exactly how to solve. First, his own blog, Goodreads, and tumblr are not considered reliable sources, so must be replaced here with better sources, or the content their source must be removed. The quotes do not support notability for WP, so they and the many references associated with them should probably be removed. The big problem, though, is that his book is self-published, which generally means that we do not accord notability to the author. We may be able to make an exception in this case because of the award he won, but I'm going to ask the advice of others on that point. Oh, and one photo will suffice - pick one.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Enock Maregesi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://enockmaregesi.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/the-interview-enock-maregesi/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by LaMona was:

I've thought about this, but I don't think it meets either general notability or notability for authors. The book is self-published through Authorhouse, and the award is a minor one. I see that this is about having written in a language with very little written literature, but I'm not sure that is enough to overcome the notability issues. Having the book published through a regular publisher cannot hurt, but I'm still not confident that this would survive a delete challenge. It would need to get some significant reviews after publication. I removed sources that were blog posts, since those are not considered reliable sources.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 333-blue was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
