His Story: The True Biography of Anton Szandor LaVey
Appears to be an article created primarily to support his other article Marvin "Knife" Sotelo which is also marked for deletion. Minimal Wikipedia value. It is important to note that this is an actual book, although self-published by the article's author. Cpaliga 13:54, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity article about self-published vanity book.--Isotope23 17:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. We have an article on Anton Szandor LaVey. This book is not important enough need an article of its own. The title is not useful as a redirect. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. If more info on the book can be found (publisher, ISBN, etc.) then consider adding to LaVey page as part of the "Books about LaVey" list? Crypticfirefly 04:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure, but I want that to be an independent edit, because I don't want to get into the issue of GFDL-compliant-merge-and-deletes being difficult to do. There isn't enough in this article to be worth that hassle. If someone wants to add the book to the article Anton Szandor LaVey in the way you suggest I'd support that.

 * Delete. I could find no record of the book in the Library of Congress database or WorldCat.  The book is self-published and available for sale (or as a free download) from lulu.com, but apparently isn't high enough on any library's radar screen to collect a copy.  This would argue against notability . . .  Crypticfirefly 03:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
