Delete as Rafala fails to meet the WP:BIO standards for notability. The citations in the article are to passing mention in brief articles detailing the content of recently published magazines, they are not reviews of his work. For example, Woomfy says that these two sentences at SF Site: Carmelo Rafala's "Boxboy" is a darker story about a mutant child with telekinetic powers. The authorities are trying to harness them, and he cooperates in order to please the woman doctor with whom he has bonded. But when another doctor pushes him... Rafala resolves things starkly and logically. constitute a notable review. They do not. Rafala has not been often nominated for awards, he has been nominated once, and that for an award that has not yet received a Wikipedia article. What can be said is that he is a published author. -- Bejnar ( talk) 16:40, 22 August 2009 (UTC) reply
