Libby Hodges
Non-notable/vanity, possibly patent nonsense? Mark83 19:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - at best non-notable. ISBN not found in any major library or bookseller.  Having an online presence does not establish notability. &mdash;ERcheck @ 20:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

If anyone wants to come to Saint Louis and attend a blood ritual and let me drink your blood so you can know I am actually a real vampire please email me (I am always looking for new donors provided you are HIV negative, No hepatitis and No Staph) because I am very careful about my health and my donors health. You are more than welcome to fly to Saint Louis, Missouri and do so. My vampirism is in my medical record as well, unlike most so call notable vampires. The isbn numbers for my books are isbn 1-59971-040-4 and Isbn 1-59971-268-7. Just becaue you Andrew, ERcheck, Meegs, and Capitalistroadster do not know me personally does not mean everything on the planet earth is a lie. The are real vampires in almost every country of the world. Some live in tribes, covens like the Massai or maybe even right next door to you. I take great offense to you saying that I am a liar, you could have easily went to my web site and emailed me or googled my name and the word vampire before you took it upon yourself to call me a liar. Also if you put in the isbn for Exodus From The Den of Demons it does show up at Borders Bookstore Nationwide in the United States but I guess Borders is just a mom and pop operation. I can gurantee you that in the future if anyone adds anything about me to wikipedia I will ask that it be deleted because I do not like being called a liar especially when I am standing up for my vampire community who hates talking to the general public because of untrue hollywood movies, and folklore stereotypes that plagues the real vampire vice the myth. Funny how everyone wants to believe the folklore and the movies but actual real vampires are demean and belittle by strangers.
 * Oh, wow. Delete possibly borderline Speedy candidate. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article implies that her novel is limited to her web site. Her other claims to notability, like being a vampire, are... not verifiable. ×Meegs 01:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Self-published author with rest of article not verifiable - potential original research on types of vampires. Capitalistroadster 01:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. Dear Libby, Wikipedia does not include everyone on the planet - see WP:BIO. Also, you are not a vampire. Very respectfully, Malthusian (talk) 10:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * STRONG DELETE per...i dunno...Libby Hodges is a looney toon? A Vampire?? Come on. Pure vanity...if that's what vampires call it. Batman2005 05:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: After writing the long message above, 777anton, the subject of the article, blanked the page and moved it to her user page. I don't think it's a candidate for speedy deletion (it wasn't created by accident, and was created and edited by several anons who may be different people), but since the outcome is quite clear already, there's no need to pile-on deletion votes, especially disrespectful ones.  I'm guilty too for my edit above, but these last two edits are nothing but personal attacks.  It's fairly rare for article authors to actually brave AfD to defend their work, and this kind of response is a big part of the reason why. Civility. ×Meegs 05:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Meegs, her main claim to notability is that she is a vampire. If she actually was a vampire, she would certainly be a notable subject for an encyclopaedia, so the fact that she is not a vampire is, I feel, entirely germane to this discussion. I'm not going to defend Batman's wording though. --Malthusian (talk) 09:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Question Libby Hodges here says that if you go to St. Louis and let her drink your blood...that will prove that she's a vampire? How does that prove anything? I could drink blood...doesn't make me a vampire.  I could drink gasoline...doesn't make me a car.  I could go to a Bar Mitvah...doesn't make me Jewish.  Just Curious.
