Violating WP:AUTO and WP:COI, this is a completely self-promotional article in which the author, using a WP:SPA, goes embarrassingly overboard in self-praise. He fails all notability standards for authors, and his self-published book woefully fails WP:BK. This whole episode is so embarrassing that we do him a favor by deleting this long, long, long example of self-love forthwith. Qworty (talk) 01:56, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Notability: I'm not sure it is ever really asserted but I didn't try to find sources. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 02:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete possibly speedy as both G11 and A7. I do not regard the assertion that one has written a few self-published novels a plausible claim of notability. Matador Press declares itself a self-publisher at the top of its own web page.   DGG ( talk ) 03:00, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * WP-auto redir ': Is that supposed to go to this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autobiography, which right now is a parody of an autobio from an artist or is it vandalism? LOL. It makes the point, but I haven't seen wikipedia pages be that satiric. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 15:58, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * This article has been extensively re-written to take into account comments received. Gurgaloid (talk)
 * How: What is he notable for? This isn't myspace. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 21:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Self promotion. Insufficient notability. Let's wait until he gets some quality independent coverage. Polargeo (talk) 07:59, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - no assertion of notability, of an unsourced biography of a living person. There is a list of books that he's written, but not a single reliable source in the whole article. Wikipedia is not a web host. Bearian (talk) 20:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
