Undecided on this one. The article as it is at present is under-referenced and overpromotional, but I have spotted one or two references (such as http://www.strangehorizons.com/reviews/2013/10/turbulence_by_s.shtml this review from Strange Horizons) that help towards notability, and I would expect a few more on a detailed search. And it is still regrettably difficult for fantasy authors from outside North America and the British Isles, no matter how well-known they are in their home markets, to break through into American or British publication, and the places we are likely to look for reliable reviews in an AfD discussion - so even (as in this case) when it starts happening, there can still be a risk of |systemic bias because we are missing existing reliable coverage of their earlier careers
