After multiple years of request for sourcing in talk, article is primarily self-sourced and author notability is not established. Page appears to have been created for possible promotional purposes. SlaterSteven asked for better, non-self-published sources as far back as December 2016 but they have not been found or forthcoming. Imadethisstupidaccount (talk) 01:46, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

- merge with Sad Puppies In effect the only RS we have for this is about the Hugo awards controversy. One mention in an article about other people as well and a load of primary sourcing. No real evidence of any independent notability as an author.Slatersteven (talk) 09:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
My, my; I've certainly run into some petty and vindictive, to say nothing of Orwellian, characters in my life, but I think Steven Slater takes the cake. Imagine it; nursing his little grudge for not being allowed to call me a fascist in public for about 4 years until he finally found a way to make me an unperson. How lucky I am that Room 101 is only fictive or I am sure he'd have nominated me for that, too.
In the first place, while I've made some minor efforts to eliminate the libels against me - one or two of which, if memory serves, began with B'rer Slater - I didn't originate any of the article. That was his first lie in this go round. Rather, it was done by an accountant and fan from the Atlanta area named John Jordan. I am sure the record can be checked for this, though I am not sure John's still alive. Last I'd heard he was in assisted living, I think following a stroke.
His second lie is that the thing's here as a promotion page. If I've sold as much as a single book from my wiki entry I would be very, very surprised. Book sales really just don't work that way, as near as I can tell. His third lie is that it's unsourced. Just check the sources for yourselves. No, sorry, though; I'm not giving you my DD 214 to peruse.
Wiki has a reputation already for being MiniTru incarnate. Oh, yes, you do; don't fool yourselves. You'll do what you want and nothing I say will make the slightest bit of difference. It won't make a bit of difference to my writing career, either; see sentence 3, paragraph 3, above. Aren't you people even slightly embarrassed that the would-be Winston Smiths of the world, one of them named Steven Slater, use you like this? Just curious.
Oh, and just so you know what a paragon of truth, objectivity, and virtue Slater is, this is taken from his wiki page: "He is an SF (except of the work of Tom Kratman) and horror fan and plays with toy soldiers. Tom Kratman has claimed that Mr Slater has, despite his self-stated belief that one should campaign against ideas and not people, chosen to baselessly attack Tom Kratman over comments that Mr. Kratman made after becoming aware of a 2015 Hugo Award nomination.[1] In response to Mr Slaters inclusion of accusations made by third parties on his bio page. Mr Kratman obviously thinks Mr Slaters opinions are of note. The Daily Mail consider his opinions worthy of note [2]. He has no pets, none of whom are called Algenon. He does however own a Plush Cthulhu, which the Daily Mail does not consider of note. He is not always 100% honest..."
It would appear he has something of an obsession. How sad. How pathetic.
