Delete - lack of evidence on the page that he's notable, and his name is too common for a search to be productive. Bearian (talk) 17:14, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to "Stephen Thomas Chang" and Weak keep We recently let Bollocks to Alton Towers pass AfD based on two media sources. Well, STC has two: https://www.salamanca24horas.com/texto-diario/mostrar/1645325/tomar-sol-ano-ultima-moda-entre-influencers and http://www.mangialibri.com/libri/la-vera-essenza-della-vita-sādhanā . Hence, a weak keep or delete both as non-notable.-CoronaEditor (talk) 11:44, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Seriously? I thought personal bios got treated differently than other topics. How is a book article relevant? And, if I am wrong about that, is the criteria now just what was done in the past for any article? Then let me suggest using THIS article I wrote as the criteria... It was deleted (twice), even with 34 citations, including The Atlantic, People and the NYT. And by the way, there is only a single reference (not the two listed above - where did THOSE come from?) used in this article, and it is the subject's own book. And it is used only to support a single paragraph. I have never seen a bio article more in need of an AFD than this one. RobP (talk) 21:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing to see here. Authors are not by default Wikipedia notable. Sgerbic (talk) 02:08, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
