Autobiography of unremarkable person. 115 Google hits for the name, few of which help the articles case. Google test isn't always the end all and be all, but when you consider that he's involved with Internet publishing, you'd expect a lot more hits from someone who is notable. There are no reliable sources given for this. Metros 16:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * There is only one safe way to write about a subject close to onesself, including writing about onesself, in Wikipedia. It is laid out at User:Uncle G/On notability.  You aren't writing that way.  You aren't working from sources that are independent of you, citing those sources as you first use them.  If you can cite multiple non-trivial published works that are about you from sources that are independent of you, demonstrating that an article can be written in the aforementioned way, you can make a case for keeping the article.  If you cannot do that, then really you should not have written about yourself in the first place. Uncle G 17:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What does 'Autobiography of unremarkable person' mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tinylee (talk • contribs) 2007-05-21 17:12:33
 * Autobiography is a biography written by the subject. An "unremarkable person" in the Wikipedia sense is someone who doesn't meet our notability requirements. Wikipedia is not a host for people's resumés, so unless multiple, non-trivial independent works have been written which discuss you and show that you are notable, you can't have an article. You should also read our policy on conflicts of interest which states avoid ... editing articles related to you. --YFB ¿  17:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It means that you wrote the article yourself and that you're not very notable. Metros 17:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, nothing to indicate notability via reliable sources. Perhaps you want WikiBios. --Dhartung | Talk 19:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
