Coverage of Lychack in secondary sources is relatively minor. Much of the sources seem to stem from primary sources (i.e. libraries which have published his works). Does not fulfill criterion (1), (2), or (4) of WP:AUTHOR, no evidence of (3) so far.

Keep. In addition to having a work reprinted in Best American Short Stories and receiving a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, both of which are really big deals for an author, his works have been reviewed by The New York Times (see here), Publishers Weekly (See here and here), Kirkus Reviews (see here and here) along with additional reviews in places like USA Today, Library Journal, Booklist and many other places (these last ones can be found with a search in the Wikipedia Library). There are also interviews and coverage of the subject in places like The Pittsburgh Post Gazette and The LA Times Review of Books. Easily meets Wikipedia's notability standards for creative professionals. --SouthernNights (talk) 19:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
