Larry Petree
Self-proclaimed "man of God" who was identified by the WP:COI bot as violating WP:AUTO by writing this vanity article about himself. Started a bible college that he named after himself, then wrote an article here about his college, which was immediately speedied. After his bible college was deleted, he replaced it with self-promotional spam. Is the author of a self-published book on songwriting that fails WP:BK. No WP:RS whatsoever offered to establish WP:N. Google kicks up mostly self-generated promotional sites and fringe fundamentalist blogs that clearly fail WP:RS. Is a WP:single-purpose account that has shown up here with no apparent purpose other than to self-promote his self-named bible college and self-published songs and book.

 * Delete per conflict-of-interest. Larry needs a press agent.  According to his autobiography, he's written 55 hit songs (but none of them are named) and he's won three "songwriter of the year" awards (but we don't know who bestowed them) and he's written a book (but we don't know who published it or when) and he earned a D.D. (but we don't know from where).  The Bible college is online only.  Mandsford (talk) 20:08, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
