Unable to find sufficient sources independent of the subject of this WP:BLP to establish WP:GNG, does not appear to meet the criteria for WP:NAUTHOR J04n(talk page) 12:52, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete the article lacks any indepdent sources, which is an absolute requirement of BLPs. The function of Wikipedia is not to be a platform to tell what someone says about themself, Wikipedia is always to be built on secondary sources which this article has absolutely none backing it up.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems like this was created by a SPA account by someone with a user name Jim Rattlesnake and this does suggest exactly what I think John Pack Lambert is implying above. CT55555 (talk) 14:04, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not think I was implying anything. A lot of articles we have lack secondary sources, but are not made by people with conflict of interest. This appears to have conflict of interest, but a lack of secondary sources may just be because someone went with a few sources they could bring together, it does not always mean there is a special connection.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I apologise for reading too much into your comment. I share the perception that @Netherzone has below. CT55555 (talk) 18:57, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm pretty sure this is an autobiography. It is unsourced, and a BEFORE search to see if it could be improved reveals nothing except wikipedia-mirrors, and book sales sites. Does not meet WP:NAUTHOR nor WP:GNG. It has been here since 2006, and if it can't be improved after 15 years, it should not be retained as the subject is non-notable.

 * Delete Unable to find enough SIGCOV. Does not meet WP:NAUTHOR nor WP:GNG. Mahdiar86 (talk) 10:25, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
