per  and .  I too failed to verify the Scottish Book Trust claim, and when you search the database of Scottish writers on that website he is not listed.  Gold Dust and Riverrun have nothing to do with poetry or him; shortlisting for a minor prize (even if verified, which this isn't) is not noteworthy.  An appearance as part of a group of "new writers" at a small literary festival doth not notability make, and namedropping the headliners at that festival doesn't confer notability by association. May merit an article at some point, once his work is properly published and independently covered
