The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Eddie891 Talk Work 13:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I came across this individual while looking into sources for the deletion discussion regarding one of his books, and found that not only was that book non-notable, but there are no actual sources demonstrating the author is, either. The only claim to notability in the article is winning a non-notable award. There are two sources included, but one is just in a local newspaper for the area he lives in, and the other is a one-sentence mention. Searching for additional sources turns up a handful of interviews in non-notable podcasts, and that's about it. It appears that many, if not all, of his books were self-published, and did not gain any kind of coverage or press. Rorshacma ( talk) 17:07, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
