The result was Speedy keep per WP:SNOW, clear incentive to improve the article has been demonstrated and notability is not an issue. Non-admin closure. Hersfold (t/a/c) 14:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Author biography article with a somewhat confused history of creation, deletion, restoral, etc. Appears to originally have been an autobiography. However, the subject may well meet notability guidelines, having two novels published by a major house (St. Martin's), a number of literary awards, and reviews in major publications including the Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews, and the (UK) Independent. It was tagged with CSD:A7 which does not seem to apply. Procedural nomination, with no recommendation. MCB (talk) 04:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
