Currently there are no reliable sources listed as to why this person is notable. A quick search query on Google found no Reliable sources indicating Notability. Self promotion to boot. VViking Talk Edits 13:58, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

I am still working on the references, and how to have them done this week or next. I was out of the country for a couple of weeks and have just returned. I have intentionally written the article in a third voice and endeavored to be neutral and factual. The article contains many outside links to confirm the validity of the facts stated, and I am working on the References section. This seems to satisfy the overall goal desired in avoiding self-authorship. I hope you agree.NNicholaou (talk) 14:14, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

I had added a number of books I've contributed to and referenced them at Amazon, but those have been deleted by VViking. I speak at about 20 national and regional conferences each year and have been published in print more than 400 times. There are nearly 200 of my print articles available on our website for free (www.mbsinc.com), so this is not self-promotion to make a buck. Rather, it is to help more folks seeking help. I have become one of the chief IT strategists for IT in churches and ministries, and believe this page helps those looking for credible content. I hope you agree. More edits coming from others, including publishers, soon. (May I put those books back?)NNicholaou (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2016 (UTC)


 * NNicholaou, it appears that the books that you listed as ones that you "contributed to" are ones that cite you. We do not include publications that cite a person's work as being their work. Also, any books or articles that the person has authored can be listed in a section called "Publications" or "Works", but they are not used as references since references must be about a person, not by a person. When you do list published works, include a full citation - title, place of publication, publisher and date for books, and title, journal title, volume, number, date and pages for journal articles. Unpublished materials (that is, materials that are on a web site but were not published through a publisher) are not included except in very unusual circumstances. Some of this is pretty normal Wikipedia practice, so if you are not an experienced Wikipedian, you probably should not create an article directly in Wikipedia but put it through the review process where you can get help creating the article. You should read WP:Notability (people), reliable sources, and naturally conflict of interest. LaMona (talk) 00:32, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - WP:NOTPROMO, WP:NOT. An article subject is never notable because the article subject says so. MSJapan (talk) 18:57, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
