 * Weak delete. The article as nominated was extremely spammy; I edited away most of it, but there's still no evidence of passing WP:PROF. I did find several newspaper reviews for his book with Emily Calvo, 25 Words or Less: How to Write Like a Pro to Find that Special Someone Through Personal Ads, so it's possible to make the case that the book itself is notable, but even if so I think he fails WP:BIO1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
