Non-notable person. Also an autobiography. Prod denied by author. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:32, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Symbol delete vote.svg|15px]] DELETE This article appears to be an autobiography in contravention of WP:AUTOBIO. Moreover, it and its associated articles (i.e., International Federation of Sports Chiropractic and Sports chiropractic) appear to be self-promotion in that they promote the field in which the subject of the autobiograpy earns his livelihood, as well as the practitioner himself, in contravention of WP:COI. The conflict of interest issues are all the more apparent when one notices that the category listing, of which the autobiography forms a part, has the effect of directing Wikipedians to the autobiography and its subject’s associated articles, to each of which the subject of the autobiography is a major contributor. There is an interconnectedness between these three articles and the category listing collecting them all that raises a red flag as regards Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guidelines. — SpikeToronto (talk) 22:53, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Good faith searches do not turn up evidence of notability. Only book attributed to him is self-published. COI, while proving nothing, appears to be the only reason for inclusion. Bongo  matic  01:25, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
