Subject's greatest claim to notability was being the editor of CRACKED Magazine for what appears to be only two issues prior to the magazine being gutted and relaunched. (The subject doesn't even warrant mention in the article for the magazine.) Only other stabs at notoriety are writing a handful of articles for a supermarket tabloid and running a non-notable memorabilia Web site. Article's author is Scott Gosar (a single-purpose account), which seems to violate WP:AUTO/WP:COI Caknuck 08:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * My own suggestion is to userfy this article to Scott Gosar. Caknuck 00:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment I am swayed on both directions on this. I would vote to have the article deleted, but it would appear to be a published magazine - but the article should not be devoted to recapping specific publication releases. --Ozgod 12:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, for a notable entrepreneur I find remarkably few second party references, which after all is how we (still) determine notability. Would change my mind if references would appear Alf Photoman  14:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

SCOTT GOSAR REPLIES: Hey "Gord": It was four issues. Why don't you spend less time worrying about what I'm doing on Wikipedia and more time minding your own affairs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.239.134.188 (talk • contribs)
 * No offense intended, but what you're doing is writing about yourself and contributing little else to the encyclopedia. Autobiographical articles are rarely permitted, and only so if they are about notable people and strictly adhere to the rules about maintaining a neutral point of view. I nominated your article because I have my doubts that you are notable enough, based on the guidelines here. One other note, removing the AFD tags from a page is not permissible. Please let me know if you have any specific questions. Caknuck 00:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
