Minor writer, did not win a major award or establish lasting contribution to field. Strong POV and weasel words, but not much in the way of biographical description. Mbisanz (talk) 05:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Would appear to meet this standard of WP:BIO: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." I see several distinct reviews of Tsafendas here. POV doesn't seem to be much of a problem to me. Zagalejo^^^ 06:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - There are certainly writers whose entire claim to notability is a single work, and this one work seems notable enough within a large nation. He was nominated for a major award, and I would think that this satisfies WP:N. LonelyBeacon (talk) 06:58, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable SA writer. IZAK (talk) 09:11, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, appears to be notable in South African literature. Lankiveil (talk) 13:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep. I removed Mbisanz's PROD and added the award nomination and press coverage. On that basis, I believe it easily meets notability per WP:BIO for creative professionals. As the "strong POV and weasel words," I have reworded the line about press coverage to be more neutral and acceptable to all, including, I hope, the nominator.
