Comment: This subject has made multiple attempts at getting an article over the years. Most writers, journalists, academics do not demonstrate notability to the required standard and the subject remains in this position. To demonstrate notability under WP:AUTHOR, for example, can be via "won significant critical attention". There is a literary award mentioned briefly in several newspapers, but no in-depth verification that the subject has indeed gained this significant critical attention. If approved here it will soon be up in WP:AFD with the same result as last time. ChrysGalley (talk) 22:49, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
