Comment. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction has a reasonably substantial article on Remic by its lead editor John Clute, which I would say takes him some way towards notability. I have also found one review in The Guardian. At least in Britain, he is a steadily popular if (in my opinion) rather formulaic writer - so I would expect rather there to be rather more reviews and other criticism in reliable sources than I have found, which might or might not amount to notability. Pinging User:Tokyogirl79, as having rather better search skills for sources than I do, for an opinion. PWilkinson (talk) 12:47, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It looks like there's enough to justify notability now. The local sources I added mostly just to back one or two things up. The Tor.com source could be questioned, however it looks like it was published in 2014 and as far as I know he didn't publish anything with them prior to 2016, when he put out A Song for No Man’s Land. There were announcements of a release in 2015, but again - the review was written prior to that point and Tor.com does review works from other publishers - they don't exclusively write about Tor releases or authors. Anything after 2015 would be considered primary at this point in time, of course. I'm unsure of the EoSF listing since it's so short, but even without that there should be enough for him to pass right now. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:25, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. He's received two reviews through SF Signal, one from The Guardian, two through Publishers Weekly, and a few from other locations, along with a handful of coverage in other places. Admittedly these took some digging to uncover, so I can understand the cause for concern - for some reason the Internet didn't want to give these up easily.

Withdraw: In light of the coverage found I am happily withdrawing my nomination. J04n(talk page) 14:31, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
