Comment - does the fact that he authored a book that won a Eric Hoffer commerical fiction award not make him 'notable'? Or maybe the article should be about the book, or merged into Eric Hoffer Award? --Jonpatterns (talk) 09:39, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In reviewing the history of this article, it looks like a large number of Single-Purpose Accounts were edit warring over this page, including a couple adding unreferenced promotional language and others posting libelous, BLP-violating language. The article was AfDed by a SPA and voted on by anon IPs. This isn't how we determine Notability. I will be watching this article closely to keep out the promotional PR language and stop the SPAs from vandalizing it to the point it gets deleted.
