I can't see any evidence that the subject of this (auto?)biography meets notablity guidelines. He is a published writer and has "skirted on the periphery of the media", appearing on Countdown and Fifteen to One, but I can't see anything here that demonstrates enough notability for an article. Couldn't find any significant coverage in reliable sources either. Beloved Freak 11:03, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
