James Martin (writer)
Vanity page started by and edited exclusively by article subject James Martin (writer) by User:Jcmartin. Claims about self "Thought to have been directly involved in the Kennedy assassinations of both John and his brother Bobby. Nothing was ever proven." Jokestress 22:20, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. &mdash;Crypticbot (operator) 16:02, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Weakest possible keep. I removed the unencyclopedic statement. Google sales rank for his claimed bestselling book is below 2 million.  The film writing credit is legitimate. Durova 18:38, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Please delete. The guy doesn't warrant an entry...and I say this because I'm that guy! It seems a house-guest thought it would be funny to give me an entry; that Kennedy assassination is a reference to a recent Wiki hoax, I'm told. I had to create a user account to leave this comment, so I might as well make myself useful and write some REAL entries. But please delete this one. Thanks! stinkant 20:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep This can be made into a real entry. Barring the vanity, and erroneous statements, he was a co-writer of waydowntown and does have other reasons to be included in the wikipedia.  Entry needs a lot of work, but should be kept.--gord 03:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sufficiently notable Canadian author. --GrantNeufeld 00:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
