Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Contemporary Writers of the American West
That's not a valid reason for deletion. If you don't know what to do with it, you don't have to do anything, but hypothetically someone could improve it by adding references, dates, representative novels, geographical areas, etc.  says lists and categories aren't exclusive. If you feel that strongly that this should be a category, create it yourself, don't expect somebody else to do the work. Without having references right now, I strongly suspect that contemporary western fiction is a subject that receives study in academic journals and books, and the nomination doesn't seem to question this. The only negative would be whether this would be better merged into a list of all western-themed literature from Fenimore Cooper and Karl May to the present day
