Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Neil Falcone (2nd nomination)
The Falcone article meets the Wikipedia standard for notability and sufficient reliability to ensure independence.   Unlike a blog, competitive publication requires peer review.  “Six” in Lighting Flash Magazine appears in a eZine compensating for the use of author’s works, and targets authorship of speculative fiction from the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror; exciting stories showing why writing is vital and compelling, and readers remember brilliant fiction years after they read it.  Falcone’s work in ''Macabre Cadaver'' was selected for publication and received a reader rating of 5, out of 5 (“Awesome”). Subject’s work in ''Absent Willow Review'' met the criteria of that magazine, which is designed to highlight new talent.  The Review is the fastest growing online magazine of its type and publishes great works of speculative http://absentwillowreview.com/support-us fiction.  So while the actual works are primary sources, the competitive rating of the article and the magazine editors’ decision to publish them are secondary sources of note in this eZine genre. With respect to reliability, ''Macabre Cadaver'' and the ''Review'' serve as aggregators of talent, vehicles of competitive notability; the subject of the article is more than a happenstance author in this genre; and the publisher stands aloof from the author, surveying the genre field. As for notability, significance is achieved in that original research is not required.  The work is reliable for the reasons stated above.  The two sources are secondary, in they themselves are not the work of the artist, but rather the aggregator of promising talent.  Independence is achieved by the competitive process; the editors are deciding what is published, and not an editorial blogger. Beyond ''Macabre Cadaver'' and the ''Review'', there are nine or fifteen other sources (depending on which ones you accept), secondary or otherwise, serving as a vehicle for the publishing of the subject’s primary works of art.  ''Black Petals'' is run by book reviewers, and screens http://blackpetalsks.tripod.com/id4.html competitively.  ''Micro-horror'' published a subgenre serving as the flash fiction or short-short venue. The general goal of a http://www.microhorror.com/microhorror/about-faq/ microfiction is to tell a story, set a mood or depict a scene in as few words as possible.  Selection is competitive.  ''Dark Fiction Spotlight'' specifically features the horror genres secret and established talent, it compensates, and the works are published based on reader review and http://thedarkfiction.com/?page_id=35 assessement.  ''The Foliate Oak Literary Journal'' is a student-run publication, but it publishes both student and non-student work. The decisions of each of these editors and their readers, in the aggregate, provides sufficient reliable sourcing establishing notability of this Wikipedia article.  The article is within the uthor standard. For these reasons, ‘Keep
