Lee Crompton
The article was on speedy as NN-BIO. I think it should go through AfD abakharev 10:53, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep because I found his book on Amazon, but needs clean-up. Far too much biographical detail, rather than work related... The JPS talk to me  12:04, 7 October 2006 (UTC)  Delete per Rosejpalmer.  The JPS talk to me  19:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Published author. Englishrose 13:06, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a published author, true. But according to Amazon the pubisher is "Lulu Press." I checked http://www.lulu.com/ and it's a "self-publishing" company specialising in "print-on-demand".  There is no sales rank and there are no reviews, so it's even possible, with print-on-demand, that only a few review copies of this novel have ever been printed.  The page was created by a user called "crommers", which name makes me think that this was the author himself.  He has made no other edits to Wikipedia.  So to bring these facts all together: it seems that Lee Crompton is a self-published author who is using Wikipedia to publicise his vanity novel. Rose Palmer 18:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, as per above reasons. Also, no other articles link to it nor does it link to any other articles, which normally qualifies an article for deletion. And the editor who wrote it has made no other edits to Wikipedia, so it seems to be little more than a promotional advertisement. Grimhelm 15:40, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per others. Never Mystic (tc) 01:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
