Michael R. Mennenga
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable writer who fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Two of his three books are from vanity presses, while the third one is from a micropress. In all cases they fail WP:BK. No WP:RS available to support notability of books or author. Qworty (talk) 08:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC) *Weak Delete lots of positives in the previous AfD suggesting he is notable in the podcasting world rather than as an author. But here we are five years later and there are no citations to demonstrate notabillity in either. Previous AfD suggests he might meet WP:AUTHOR for podcasting work, or maybe WP:WEB, but without cites after all this time I'm erring on the side of delete.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 17:28, 5 February 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep For how long must we be responsible for cleaning up Qworty's demolitions-before-deletions? Just as on Articles_for_deletion/Dustin Moore, Articles_for_deletion/Christopher Macann, and Articles_for_deletion/D'Jais, all within the space of a couple of weeks, and despite my protest at this sort of behaviour, Qworty has gutted the article before nominating it, including removing links to Slice of Sci-Fi, Evo Terra, and Podcasting, which were all clues that would have made ThePaintedOne's search on the first nomination completely unnecessary. I am forbidden by AGF to speculate on why, but I protest this restriction; evidence exists in good measure for allegations of bad faith. I do not want to hear about how he removed Peacock terms or some other rare horseshit excuse; his deletions before nomination amount to nothing less than disruption of WP.
 * The RS that so far has eluded editors are right there, in Google Books.
 * Podcasting For Dummies, page 294, Tee Morris, Chuck Tomasi, Evo Terra, Kreg Steppe
 * Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies page 31, Tee Morris, Evo Terra, Ryan Williams
 * Secrets of podcasting:audio blogging for the masses page 126
 * Gaslight Grimoire:Fantastic Tales of Sherlock Holmes

And more can be gleaned from what Qworty deleted, for example:
 * Sliceofscifi.com Search Slice of Sci-Fi for "Mennenga"


 * Weak Keep, I'm not 100% convinced by those cites, some are a bit 'mentioned in passing', although the first is stronger. However, as I was unconvinced by the delete in the first place I'll give benefit of the doubt and switch to a keep.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 07:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
