Notability of the subject has been in questions since the article's creation. While an initial speedy deletion attempt was denied, it appears this article still has not accomplished much in establishing notability. There may also be a conflict of interest at work here since it appears that the original creator may be the subject of the article in question or a relation thereof.

Weak Keep I am not familiar with the author at all, nor with that literary field. The person was shortlisted for an important literary award - according to the article, that is - which does not quite fulfil WP:BIO. But people from outside the US/UK are underrepresented on Wikipedia and I think WP:BIO should be interpreted generously if possible. The article needs to be rewritten and sourced which is the biggest problem as I see it. The first step should probably be to change it into a stub and build it again. --Bonadea (talk) 11:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
