Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephon Hendricks
Nearly all of the references here are to WordPress blogs rather than |reliable sources — we require coverage in ''real media'', not just any random blog that exists, to deem a person notable. In addition, I've already had to remove a couple of other sources from the article — both of his books were referenced solely to their presence on Amazon.com (which is not notability-making sourcing for a writer, as we require ''media'' coverage ''about'' the books, not just the books metaverifying their own existence on an online bookstore, to deem a person notable as a writer), and one source literally just briefly namechecked his existence as a giver of soundbite in an article that was not ''about him'', and thus wasn't support for his notability either. The few sources left that are from real media are not sufficient coverage to get him over , and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG. As always, we're looking for independent, externally validated verification of his ''importance'', such as noteworthy literary or music ''awards'' and/or independent critical analysis of his work's creative significance, not just verification that he exists
