Non-notable author lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Fails WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR. reddogsix ( talk) 02:48, 14 September 2012 (UTC) reply
I don't believe that this page should be deleted because I think that Mark Lawrence meets the WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR criteria as he has been a finalist for various writing awards, and he has received significant critical success from his books Prince of Thorns and King of Thorns, both published by Ace Voyager.

I don't totally agree with having so much removed (especially the goodreads information/ratings) but I suppose that less is more, especially in a Wikipedia page. It's also now much more neutral, something that I couldn't do because I am a big fan. I really used interesting info I found from his personal blog and from interviews he's done, but I guess it is better now with it having just larger/more prestigious sites. I'm sure that his second book King of Thorns is going to receive more recognition as it is a better book, but it has only been out for less than a month. I don't know how to add it, but there is a picture you could add to the wiki info, here's a link to a high quality author photo: http://princeofthorns.com/images/me_an_c2.jpg Thanks for your work, and hopefully the page will be kept now. He might not be famous outside of the fantasy community, but he is a rising star, and I believe he's definitely at a similar level as other fantasy authors that are currently on wikipedia.
