William N. Shepherd

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Autobiography filled with wikipuffery, but no third-party reliable sources. The opening paragraph that chooses to highlight his e-books says all you need to know about WP:N. Has had a notability tag since 9/2007. THF (talk) 16:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails both WP:BIO and WP:ACADEMIC. There does not seem to be significant coverage of him in any reliable sources. Using Google it is easy to find references to his many writings, however it doesn't appear that any of these references occur in peer-reviewed publications. --Megaboz (talk) 21:51, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
