This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Lisabeck1295 (talk) 02:21, 17 May 2016 (UTC) Michael Knost is a qualified author that does not have any controversy in his life. I could not find any negative stories about him but the awards that he won are well known awards in his genre which make him noteworthy.Reply

The internet does not have anything controversial on him and he is an important figure. This is not for promotional purposes, it is because he is a notable figure in the horror and writers community Lisabeck1295 (talk) 02:24, 17 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
