Joshua P. Warren
Originally deleted as copyvio, but the contributor stated that he is the original author. This makes it autobiography/vanity, however. The author has made several other contributions promoting his own work, which should be reviewed. Fredrik | talk 11:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, vanity. --Angr/undefined 11:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Google results establish some notability. No vote. utcursch | talk 11:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. --Mr Frosty Smacks of self-promotion.  Busy schedule?  Moved into a new house?
 * Comment. A notable subject with a bad vanity article.  I'd suggest rewriting it including a skeptical view (this didn't take long to turn up on Google and is even included in the Publishers Weekly reviews on Amazon) and taking out the chatty vanity tone, but if nobody has the time, Delete.  --Dvyost 13:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: Article has been updated.
 * Keep. Notable.  The edits have improved it.  It still needs to be improved and wikified.  Logophile 14:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand Google suggests he's real, and the claims made indicate notability. Agree that a critical section is a necessity. Xoloz 15:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Xoloz. The general notability of this figure is borderline, but he appears to be significant enough within his field and has appeared on a number of nationally broadcast television stations (History Channel, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, TLC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, et cetera).  There is no harm in keeping this article.  Hall Monitor 17:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Hall Monitor. The subject is indeed borderline, but appearances on national broadcast media (TV and radio) are sufficient for an encyclopedic bio.  The article doesn't need to be expanded to be longer, but wikification and clean up would be in order. Quale 19:24, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Per Hall Monitor. Appearing on national TV and magazines reaches notability. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 02:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup to provide a balanced, NPOV article. MCB 03:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
