The result was keep. I'd much rather more discussion before closing however this has already been relisted twice and with the comments all being on the keep side of the fence, I don't see a reason to relist this a third time and keep this discussion open. With there being so little conversation on this, I have no problem with a speedy relist. (non-admin closure) Dusti ^{*Let's talk!*} 06:07, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find coverage other than reviews. If not delete, possibly merge to the article about his novel? Tacyarg (talk) 20:29, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

'Keep I added an article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that includes a few bio details. He may not be recluse on the level of J.D.Salinger, but he appears not to have given a single interview despite the awards and praise heaped on his first novel. The page predates the novel by several years, and older versions include material since removed [1]. He's certainly young enough to produce more books in the future. And if he ever decides to give interviews, there will be journals eager to publish them. I think we should keep it, it really was an extremely notable first novel, which does make him notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:37, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep One notable book. That makes it borderline, but it is at least a straightforward non-promotional article. The article could be about the book, but, as E.M.Gregory says, it's better about the author, who might write more books. DGG ( talk ) 01:03, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
