Please note that writers are not notable just because their own writing metaverifies its own existence on the self-published websites of his own publishers — his own book's promotional profile on the website of its publisher is not support for notability, nor are individual pieces or directories of his own content on the websites of newspapers or magazines he's written for. The notability test is not the extent to which he can be shown as the author of content about other things, it's the extent to which he can be shown as the subject of content written by other people: reviews of his book in established media, news articles about him and his work in established media, and on and so forth. The only acceptable or notability-supporting source in this article, as currently written, is "A menagerie of people who wither away" — but a person requires a lot more than just one of those, and not a single one of the other ten sources is appropriate support for notability at all.
