Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Krach
both articles as eminently salvagable, and send to  for a major sandblasting and proper sourcing. COI aside as the article now belongs to Wikipedia (and hopefully the author is now aware of Wikipedia's concerns with such), I have found that he was a frequent colomnist for IndieWire http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_user_ldate=1996&as_user_hdate=2002&q=%22Aaron+Krach%22&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&um=1&q=%22Aaron+Krach%22&lnav=od&btnG=Go, is quoted by such diverse papers as ''Los Angeles Times'' and ''Chicago Tribune'', and has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_user_ldate=2002&as_user_hdate=2009&q=%22Aaron+Krach%22&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&um=1&q=%22Aaron+Krach%22&lnav=od&btnG=Go. No one looked? And though not yet sourced, his book has received accolades such as being called a "striking debut novel" in a lengthy interview of the author by http://www.pridesource.com/article.html?article=7974 ''Pride Source'' and being well reviewed in multiple sources http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Aaron+Krach%22%2C+%22Half-Life%22&hl=en&ned=us&um=1&scoring=a. Not too difficult to find. Seems they both meet the  criteria for inclusion... and the articles might well serve the project. Simply put, they are fixable.  That they have not been in a |reasonable time is not a reason to delete... it's a reason to fix them. Sources are available... even if no one is putting them to use. Better to give them proper atention rather than simply deciding not to do so by deleting
