Non-notable personage and vanity page, created by the subject, to promote himself and his website. I couldn't verify the references as being independent of Mr. James. Mr. James removed the proposed deletion after 'addressing my concerns'.-- Syrthiss (talk) 12:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. This article is clearly promotional in tone, and the fact that it was written by cannot be discounted. This is why we have WP:COI. Even assuming that the subject may possibly be notable, I can find no proper sources that demonstrate that notability. Of the five sources listed, the first is a blog and unsuitable, the second is nonspecific, the third is the subject's website, the fourth cites to a newspaper website (sort of), but doesn't offer a link or a date and is thus unsuitable, and the fifth is nonspecific. So we're inching toward Advertising territory, and I would not object to a G11 Speedy. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:07, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. No substantial coverage (as evidenced by the fact that the subject had to create it himself). Christopher Connor (talk) 18:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
