This article entry violates several Wikipedia guidelines involved autobiographies and notability.

1. To be sure that David Jones wrote this page, you'd only have to look at the page history and his Wikipedia user page. He makes no effort to hide the fact that he is the creator of his own Wikipedia page.

2. He commonly goes by "Choronzon Club" or variants on the Internet. This can be verified by Googling and viewing his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/choronzon_club

3. He seems to fancy these alleged "criticisms" in order to achieve some sort of Crowleyesque notoriety. This can be verified on his MySpace page, where he posts a link to said "Black Lodge" PDF.

4. His citations in other Wikipedia articles, such as on the OTO page were added by him!

5. Note the guideline listed on the Wikipedia page creation header: "Do not write articles about yourself, your company, or your best friend."

6. Please review http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest, specifically sections 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.8, and 2.2. Also, please review guidelines at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion

PS: Why are the people involved in this article all coming from a Qwest DSL address in Eugene, Oregon (where Mr. Jones is also currently based)? :) LevelSolve 18:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - His "noted scholar" link points to a self-written autobiography, which laughably includes "Doctorate in Divinity from the Universal Life Church". Attention/notoriety-seeking, grand-standing person of no notable value. (Unintentionally) humorous, though. delete LevelSolve 05:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesn't look terribly notable. The referred publications all appear to be at fanzine level. Tearlach 12:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - he's a "noted scholar", noted by people of his own miniscule religion. I'm a "noted scholar" on strategy, noted by my own CounterStrike clan, with approximately the same number of members. I've written web pages, too, and I have friends who call me important for that. Keep him so I can type up a page on myself too! ...yeah, I kid. Delete of course. 78.48.70.152 21:53, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I do not think any of the books are published by other than the many non-notable organizations he has started or been involved in. It's hard to judge N for some of the figures in similar groups, but DRJ is clearly NN. . DGG 23:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
