 * Strongest possible DELETE. Really awful case of WP:WG, WP:AUTO, WP:COI, WP:SPS, WP:SPAM, and WP:SPA.  What you've got here is a guy who pays vanity presses to print his work, then goes around the Internet, including Wikipedia, trying to masquerade as a legitimately published author, in order to try to get attention for himself and his conventionally unpublishable work.  There is a related AfD about the same guy  going on right now--editors having to use their valuable time to try to get this guy's self-promotional projects scrubbed off our encyclopedia.  Delete and salt, please. Qworty (talk) 02:25, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
