All the relevant info is on the first paragraph, the rest is a cut and pasted story. I don't know if this qualifies for a speedy nn-bio, but the contest mentioned in the article has very little web presence (82 google hits for "Future Writers of America"), and I can't find any verification of a Jared King that wrote anything.

- Delete per nom. Speedy if the story is considered a copyvio (which it likely is). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a non-notable writer; I have also removed the short story per WP:NOT and as a copyvio. Per the Berne Convention, his works are copyrighted, and his publishers most likely have retained copyright as well. Only he or his publishers may post this story (which is not on Google either.) — The Hooded Man ♃♂ 05:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Posting a short story to an encyclopedia isn't a good idea, whether you own the copyright or not. - Mgm|(talk) 09:18, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
