it doesn't appear that this author meets the burden of WP:AUTHOR and the various micro prizes referenced don't seem to be of great significance. Graywalls ( talk) 22:55, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - The Paternity Test is definitely notable, if not having a WP yet. The fact that he is covered in The Washington Post] and the The Boston Globe, along with the coverage of his earlier novel, Avoidance is enough to pass both WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR. Onel5969 TT me 02:52, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep well-known novelist whose books Charity Girl and Paternity Test were widely reviewed. At a minimum, the reviews that come up in a simple gNews search ought to have been spotted by WP:BEFORE. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 18:37, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- User:Graywalls Do you want to take a look, and maybe just tag it for sourcing? Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 20:30, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The references need a good going-over, but I think he passes WP:AUTHOR. XOR'easter ( talk) 22:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per Onel5969 and E.M.Gregory. Daask ( talk) 09:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Easy pass of WP:AUTHOR for creating multiple notable novels Avoidance, Charity Girl and The Paternity Test. In addition to what was found for the book, I also found WP:SIGCOV coverage of The Paternity Test on Lambda Literary [1] Huffington Post [2], Publishers Weekly [3], Newsday [4] and J. The Jewish News of Northern California [5], and that was just by a quick glance. Coverage for Charity Girl also exists at The NY Times [6], Publishers Weekly [7], The Boston Globe [8], PopMatters [9], Kirkus Reviews [10]. Tablet (magazine) [11]. Articles for both of these notable novels should be created. Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 10:54, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
- My bad, it was onel5969 who found reviews above (sorry E.M. Gregory!) Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 10:59, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
