Keep. Here's a feature about him in the July 27, 2008 The New York Times,[1]. Here's an article in the October 15, 2009 New York Daily News[2]. Here's a October 21, 2009 interview with BET.[3] The article suffers from some puffery and needs cleaning up, but notability is not in question. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - also had a listing here at the Washington Post. Bearian (talk) 00:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - but that listing in the Washington Post is no more relevant than a listing in a phonebook; all it does is say that a play he wrote was running. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:22, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
