Proposed deletion of The Emigrant

The article The Emigrant has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unremarkable fiction by an author with no article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Making an entry for Luis Felipe Lomelí

As I stated on the AfD, I don't think that The Emigrant is notable enough to merit an entry but I do think that the author might be. I'm finding quite a bit out there but I was wondering if you would want to help me find sources to back up some of the awards he's won and the like. I'm working on the article in my userspace if you'd like to help out. User:Tokyogirl79/Luis Felipe LomeliTokyogirl79 (talk) 06:51, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
