Jon Jacobs (writer)

Article doesn't incorporate text from Wipipedia (see ), it copies the entire entry word for word, from the get-go. The person isn't very notable either--there is brief mention of the book here and here--but I found nothing about the man himself. It is possible that the book is notable, but I don't see evidence of that yet. Drmies (talk) 17:43, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Regardless whether the book is notable or not, notability is not inherited and I haven't found any significant evidence of sources for Jon Jacobs. I began with searching "Different Loving: An Exploration of the World of Sexual Dominance and Submission Jon Jacobs" and found only two results. A search with both "Jon Jacobs sexuality writer" and "Jon Jacobs BDSM" through both Google News and Books provided the same results, Different Loving: An Exploration of the World of Sexual Dominance and Submission so this book was probably his only work or only significant and published work. As the two results provided by Drmies show, I found additional books that cited this book as a suggestion to readers. Although one of the links cited at Wipipedia here claims he coined a term, Total Power Exchange, but I haven't found any significant sources supporting this. Of course, considering this is a raunchy subject that wouldn't appear through your normal news sources, the book probably never received any other significant news coverage (probably mostly sex blogs) aside from the two news articles I provided at the beginning of my vote.
