Deletion of Barry Sanders (professor)

Comment: Might be more notable if he actually -was- a Pulitzer Prize nominated finalist for 1998 and 1994, as is implied in the article (as far as I can tell, that's http://www.pulitzer.org/cyear/1998f.html not http://www.pulitzer.org/cyear/1994f.html true). However, his books were offered by major publishers (HarperCollins and Vintage Paperbacks, f'rexample), as you can see if you look 'em up on Amazon. Do his books help him meet 's test for "author"? Maybe. Is there a better standard to apply? Anyone
