I do not believe the subject meets WP:Author or WP:GNG. There's almost no coverage of this person other than a few expected links (amazon, goodreads, own website etc) and the awards listed are not notable. Rayman60 (talk) 01:55, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't mean to be rude but, Rayman60, do you follow me around and seek todelete what I write? My article Randall Hicks was well researched and he is notable in his field, and you seek to delete that. Now you are doing it again here with this article I created. Brian Wiprud has many books out, they are well reviewed by substantial sources. Wikipedia should constantly grow with new authors and people. Thanks.
