Rushworth Kidder
Delete. Blatant self-promotion. Reads like a press release, complete with photo. Possible copyvio, but I've been unsuccessful in attempts in tracking this text down. Keep. As per Demi's edits, this article should no longer be considered for deletion. Android79 02:18, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article is awful, as the nominator points out it reads like a speaker bio. However, the subject is a published author and is notable. The article needs editing, not deletion. Demi 19:34, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've edited out the bio-speak, the publicity photo and unverifiable quotes of praise. There's not a lot left, but I do think these bare facts establish notability. I think it should be delisted. Demi 19:50, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)
 * Nice job. I'll withdraw the nomination, and see about getting that photo deleted. Android79 02:18, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
