Joshua James William Skaug
The site listed below is indeed defunct - but the authors website and listings with the Tourette Syndrome Association are not. His new web and contact information is gladly given out by TSA. They seem happy enough with his fund raising and he gives speaking engagements in Southern Arizona. I found him listed on the Sisters In Crime Authors website - which even included photos of when he was a featured speaker for them at a book fair. And, we found an article on him at the Green Valley Newspaper site listing him as a three time author at age 13. He has ISBN numbers.

Only claim to notability seems to be writing a series of cookbooks for children (see Articles_for_deletion/Kooking_For_Kids). The cookbooks cannot be found anywhere except on the archives of the authors own defunct website (skaugbusinessservices.com). Delete Rasmus (talk) 10:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep seems verifiable, good enough for me (inclusionist!) Jcuk 21:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Obvious Delete. Writing an unsuccessfully self-published cookbook doesn't cut it, and Jcuk seems to have mistaken Wikipedia for the local White Pages. --Calton | Talk 00:47, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Also, delete this photo of him: [[Image:Joshua Skaug.jpg|50px]].  dbenbenn | talk 21:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
