Zack Shutt
Non-notable-bio of person who has written a book that has (according version of page before I speedied it) sold 40 copies, has a blog, and has apparently reviewed music on local radio. Page was speedied, but the author disputed it so I figured a second opinion was in order. --Aim Here 18:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep

"Direct quote from previously revised page: The first print consisted of a small amount of 40 copies, and quickly sold out locally in only days. Orders continued to come in via online sales and local sales through the indie-publisher Cafepress."

The book has SURPASSED the sale of 5,000 copies, I know for a fact. I work for a local bookstore, and we stocked the book both online and in our store. At one time an interview was given on a local news channel and our online sales peaked for the book.

Shutt does have a cult following, and therefore i believe that this page is a fair contribution to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Setroid (talk • contribs)


 * Keep Zack Shutt has a large fan base in the podcasting community. having produced one of the top downloaded podcasts for more then a year, he deserves a Wikipedia page. he is not only a producer, but also on air talent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.218.201 (talk) 01:26, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you cite any source that we could view ourselves? We unfortunately can't just take someone's word for it. Hbackman 06:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * weak keep seems plausibly notable. several relevant google hits. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 20:01, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn-bio until such time as Setroid gives sources for these sales. 280 Google results, many of which are just him using his own name as a username, is not notable.  -- Rory 0 96 20:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete but I'm more than willing to change my mind should Setroid show some evidence to back up his/her claims of sales. Eivind 22:25, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn-bio. Bloggers can easily get a decent amount of Google hits, which should not be confused for notability.  OhNo itsJamie Talk 23:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Eivind. --Thunk 00:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC), absent some evidence of sales.  --Thunk 00:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
