This "children's author" has paid for publication with the vanity press Jeremy Mills. Wilson then apparently wrote this article himself as "rfw", which is a single-purpose account as well as a previously suspected sock puppet of Frank Wilson. This user then went on to create a promotional page for his self-published book, Gleda and the Sparkling-Cloth, which should also be deleted. Niether Wilson nor his single book are notable under the Wikipedia book notability guidelines. Qworty (talk) 04:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
