Fails WP:GNG and effectively an unsourced BLP. Most likely selfpromo. Copy Chris Mentillo of the same author is already redirected. The Banner talk 23:35, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Delete Yeah, looks like a WP:COI to me. Fails WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR, and WP:MUSBIO. Article claims that the subject has won a writing award in the lead section, but in the body it fails to acknowledge an award at all. Mr. Guye (talk) 01:08, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, we should let fix it first, apparently it wasn't ready to go live. But if it doesn't get userfyed, turned into a Draft, or et cetera, the previous statement on deletion remains true. Mr. Guye (talk) 01:14, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Guye. I wish to thank you thus far for taking the time to help rectify this article in question. In addition, I'm pleased to see that you've taken the appropriate measurements to properly make informed decisions on the issues at hand, before executing any kind of deletion for this article. Seriously, you are the kind of professional we need more of here on wikipedia - literally. To many editors, etc in my opinion, are far too quick to pull the trigger regarding deleting articles which show obvious potential for improvement - given they are allowed ample amount of time to make such revisions; Thus is the case with this article. With my right hand on the bible, and God as my witness, I swear to you Mr. Guye there is no duplicate users, and this article was never meant to be submitted live for inclusion, simply because it was still being worked on. I assure you this was an honest mistake on my part, and so I now ask of you to please adopt me an help me reinstate the article to no longer be considered for deletion. I've already made some accepted revisions on the article for which I had planned on doing before accidentally making the article live. Additionally, I will be making more corrections for which you recommended, and indeed plan on doing whatever else is necessary in making the article acceptable for wikipedia inclusion. But I do need more time to properly finish my research on Mr. Mentillo to make the proper changes. I will be more than happy to make the suggested changes you mentioned to correct the problem. Thank you, and God Bless. --Carbon0902 (talk) 03:22, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * deleted "award-winning writer," until proof of claim is properly referenced. Need additional time to reinstate claim. Also think external links should be removed. --Carbon0902 (talk) 03:36, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * So now that we've moved it back to its proper place, I believe that Carbon wanted to userfy this? If so, it should be moved to User:Carbon0902/Doc Mentillo. ansh666 07:12, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. My own sweeps of news sources did not find sources suggesting this subject meets the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:42, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
