Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin D. Skelton
Firstly, being an orphan and possible autobiography and not having been worked on recently have no relevance to a deletion discussion. Including those in the nomination can only serve to distract from the real issues of notability and sources. There seem to be two claims of possible notability in the article. First that the subject has "had great success internationally in numerous festivals and competitions". For that to hold water we need to know which festivals and competitions - even http://www.kevinskelton.com/ his own web site doesn't list them, and I can find no reports of any such success from Google News archive searches for "Kevin D.
