The result was delete. The concensus is that there are insufficient reliable, independent sources to show that this author meets the criteria for inclusion -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 02:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Author of minor fiction that has been published in magazine. The citation to "With Many Shades, Fantasy and Science Fiction" is to a blog. Article was created by a member of the subject's undergraduate fraternity. (See Peter Shalvoy and Aaron Raitiere below.) Racepacket (talk) 18:16, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"Although we did recently publish a story titled “Six” by a new author named Ryan Neil Falcone that had nearly 70 votes, which is pretty good, for MC and for Ryan—congratulations Ryan and we wish you well on your future writing endeavors."
There is not a single review provided in any kind of publication. Wikipedia's standard of notability is not dependent on fame, importance to other people, popularity, or accomplishment. It is dependent on whether a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. You may not like those basic and essential criteria, nor the criteria for a reliable source, but that's what you have to work with here. Voceditenore (talk) 07:47, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This may be an "achievement" of sorts, but is no evidence of notability whatsoever. No awards, no reviews, no articles about the author or his work which are key to establishing the notability of an author. And no, my rationale is not tailored to print. Macabrecadaver.com publishes lengthy articles, interviews, and reviews, but has nothing about Falcone or his work. Absentwillowreview.com also has interviews [14] and "Editor's Choice" Awards [15], but Falcone appears in neither. None of this is surprising, since he appears to only have started publishing his stories seven months ago. Voceditenore (talk) 08:02, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
