Talk:Spenser J. Somers

Spenser Somers does have a book in publication, the citations are all there and according to format, and a chariatable foundation was named after him He could add references from the text to the actual citations.

He also passes the google test, even though I think googling is a very flawed way of establishing notability. See my rant on other entry: Talk:The Murder of Brian Glick

 * I couldnt find anything about him when i googled him. I just dont think he fits the criteria to be notable enough.  Just because had one book published and a foundation named after him doesnt necessarily automatically give him nobility.--Gephart 23:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * He does appear on google, in a bio on the foundations website. Besides, Google is a wholey unsound and unacademic method of doing research. It's biased towards current events. I've provided paper format citations to articles about him in the Star Tribune, which Gephart being from Minnesota knows is no hicktown newspaper. I've also provided links to his foundation, and a link to his book on Amazon. He's about as notable as 50th and France, which living in Edina for 20 years I think I went to about 10 times. It's a neighborhood street corner with a few shops. If that can be on here, then this article should be able to establish notability.
