I couldn't find sources to prove WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. No good WP:ATD. This has been in CAT:NN for 14 years; hopefully we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 13:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep while there are no sources on the author, several of his books might be notable. There are a bunch of reviews on Publisher's Weekly and Kirkus Reviews. One of them, The Whistling Toilets, won a prize from the American Library Association. As it's written, the page does not show the notability of the author, but it can be expanded to include information on his books. --Broc (talk) 14:08, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep : Winning the Library Association prize denotes notability. Oaktree b (talk) 15:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete He did not win "the Library Association prize", one book's recording was named to its "Selected Audiobooks for Young Adults", which appears to have 30 titles per year and is not enough for WP:NAUTHOR. There needs to be significant coverage or sources on the individual for an article. Reywas92^Talk 19:50, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete have amended my !vote above, after the prior comment explained the nomination. I don't really see much coverage for this person. Oaktree b (talk) 20:37, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• I’ve been trying to figure out why exactly I got a notice for this AFD, and it turns out I created the article, which makes sense - except I have no idea what I was thinking when I put this out there (probably read something by the author while still in collage). Changing times and standards I guess. At any rate, if ya’ll wanna delete it go ahead. 2600:1011:B13D:12B7:DC8:577A:7FF5:4615 (talk) 04:45, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
