No.

I have said it has RSs. You have not disputed this. Oh wait, you have:

OK, cool, he writes fanfiction. Doesn't belong here, though. (WP:RS, WP:V, WP:ROC)

Care to justify that one? How do V and RS apply when I have supplied V and RS, hm?

I have said that the writings of a writer are germane to a bio article about that writer. You have not disputed this, unless this meaningless edit summary is supposed to:

"The writings of a writer" is a bit generousm wouldn't you say?

I have no idea how to charitably interpret this in any sane fashion, besides imputing a complete contempt for fanfiction and a belief that fanfiction is not writing (despite the 'fiction' in the very term).

Since when does length instill relevance/notability?

Since when does length have no bearing on whether something is a major work or not?

Please address my many concerns before reverting again, thank you.

Whatever. I have RSs/reviews about Yudkowsky's longest work, one of his most popular, it is 100% Ved, it is as germane as possible to be, and your objections either make no sense or are repeated with no further elaboration. But I suppose if you claim to have concerns enough times, people might believe you.
