The individual won a major award, which was originally included in the text of the article, but has now been included in the citations in a prominent position.

I would also like to point out that while the book "Society of Judas" is self-published, a perusal of the citations will show that it has been reviewed by a major publisher, Ignatius Press in San Francisco - the publisher of a number of Pope Benedict's books in English. In today's modern publishing environment, self-publication isn't necessarily an indictment of credibility, and if it has been reviewed in a major publication or by a publisher, I think the onus certainly doesn't attach.

Notability
How is this individual notable? Their bibliography appears to consist of two theses and two self-published books (Book Surge is part of Amazon's self-pub operation). Many of the sources appear to be blogs and even forums (neither are reliable) and those that aren't appear to be self-published informational pages provided by churches, which also can't be used to establish notability.
