Non-notable author, only notable for knowing a guy who studied Steven King who probably isn’t even notable himself. Dronebogus (talk) 07:52, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He won a notable award, Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel for Black Fire, using the name James Kidman. Some of his books, thus his writing, did get reviewed such as at: https://ew.com/books/the-zombie-who-cried-human-sneak-peek/ https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-9838071-6-2 Dream Focus 00:34, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Per DreamFocus.★Trekker (talk) 09:21, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

this is just an unrelated technical comment, but “speedy keep” is only for AfDs so inarguably obvious there’s no point in presenting evidence— i.e. there’s a huge number of reliable sources already on the page or the nomination is gibberish. You might be thinking of the WP:SNOWBALL clause, which is similar but less extreme. Dronebogus (talk) 11:28, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Speedy Keep" is also used in instances where the nomination is withdrawn and there are no other opinions in favour of deletion. It has become shorthand for "you should probably withdraw this", thus facilitating a speedy keep. You are, of course, free to disregard such a suggestion.

Comment I added references to his some of his books I found reviews for. Dream Focus 15:33, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - the award and reviews are enough for me. St★lwart¹¹¹ 07:25, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
