Non-notable author/web designer. Lots of self-published books and sources cited that are run by the author himself, so some concern over whether he is in fact notable. Oscarthecat (talk) 13:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Borders on spam. Definitely appears to be self-promotion. -- Kickstart70 - T - C 17:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as self-promotion. With all due respect to Mr. McMahon, he is the first and only author of the material here, material that rightly belongs on his "Goategg" user page.  Where, in fact, it already is.  --Lockley (talk) 18:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Do Not DeleteThis is a biographical entry. There has to be one person to start the article, if you don't like it, change it to serve yourself.  Who is notable and has renown anyway - what Us and People magazine tell us has renown?  Can't be a self promotion if he didn't write it.  I am not C. Matthew McMahon.  I have never met the man.  He live in Florida, I live in Minnesota.   Goategg (talk)  —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:31, 25 October 2008 (UTC).

 * Delete. Little independent cover(a)ge of him personally or of his writings. Does not pass either WP:BIO or WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as not notable, and I also agree it appears to be self promotion.Yachtsman1 (talk) 00:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete cause who the hell cares. I just spent several hours of my life that I will never get back but I guess if someone needs to add criticism instead of just facts to make it a balanced article, so be it.  Just delete it and get it over with.  Goategg (talk)
