 * Delete. This biography is an essay about an ordinary person, as a subject of a writing project. No notability is asserted for the subject. May be valuable as a time capsule but not as an encyclopaedic biographical entry. --  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 03:34, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Note the last section of the article. Most or all of the article could be fiction. Even if it is not, the article is about an ordinary non-notable individual, who does not become notable simply because he was interviewed. The writers of the project interviewed 1,200 persons, most or all of them ordinary people, and wrote about them. All 1,200 should not have articles about them. Only the project itself and what it covered would seem notable enough for an article. I found nothing about this Hubert Johnson in a High Beam search, a Questia search and the first few pages of a Google search. Person is not notable for a separate encyclopedia entry.
