 * Delete - previously speedied three times, but the creator just doesn't seem to have got the message. Deb (talk) 19:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)


 * It's not fair to say the creator hasn't gotten the message. The last two speedied versions were nowhere near as promotional as the first (history now at Draft:Richard Watts (author)), and unlike all three, the currently-visible version at least makes some effort at pointing out third-party coverage.  That coverage doesn't amount to what's needed to meet our inclusion criteria, however.  Delete. —Cryptic 00:43, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
