Hank Harrison

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Selfpublished author of dubious notability, does clearly not pass WP:AUTHOR. Any real notability seems to come from relation to Courtney Love (a case of WP:NOTINHERITED), in which case relevant information could be merged into her bio. Subject has edited the article to remove references to his complicated relationship to his daughter, and requested the article be deleted on the talkpage of User:Dougweller. This is not a tacit attempt to grant this request, but a test of whether the community finds him to be sufficiently notable to have an article. My instinct is no. Furthermore the article appears to have been created by the account User;Hankbuddha which looks suspiciously like it is also under the control of Harisson, as it has made strikingly similar edits to those of User:Stone Savant who uses Harrison's email address as its signature. IN this case the article was probably created as a WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY with promotional intent. I think the best course is to delete and if notable let someone who does not have a conflict of interest eventually recreate it.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 08:01, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED. I did remove the one sentence that I think was a BLP violation and had zero encyclopedic value.  The padding of sources to events that aren't particularly notable in and of themselves isn't convincing.  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 14:51, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - This guy has several almosts: related to a famous person, been involved with the Grateful Dead in some poorly defined capacity, and a self-published grail mythology theorist. The sources are too flimsy to support an entire page. Grayfell (talk) 22:42, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I was hoping that notability could be established at least based on the books, but I can't find anything that could get him past WP:AUTHOR at this point, regardless of COI or WP:PROMO issues. § FreeRangeFrog croak 04:42, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
