Despite all the citations, he's essentially the nonnotable author of a selfpublished (Booksurge) book. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The credibility of the sources is not a properly addressed issue here. Stretch is both the CEO of a registered corp. and is funded and supported by a 501c3 non-profit corp, both in Virginia. As far as being a "nonnotable author" is concerned, Stretch's book has sold well over 1,000 copies and reached number 5 on the Amazon bestseller list in its category. To call him nonnotable is a, well, stretch. I put hours into writing this article because plenty of people want to know about this young artist, and plenty of people, thousands, have been impacted by his work in writing and the work his book has done for the Virginia Prison System. I will work on finding additional credible sources to add to the list. Thanks for your concerns.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by MitchBauserman (talk • contribs) 23:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
