This article, written by a WP:SPA with an obvious WP:COI is close to A7 material. The subject has written a small number of books with very minor publishers, and is namechecked for some activism, largely with his wife (the same SPA wrote her biography too).

Being a nominee for a Pushcart Prize, while not sufficient to support notability, may be indicative of WP:TOOSOON. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 16:11, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
