The result was Keep. This nomination and the one below are the users first and only contributions to Wikipedia (Mod176 (talk • contribs • count)), and leads me to believe its a bad faith nom and/or possible attack.

• Keep and cleanup per 999. —Hanuman Das 13:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• KEEP ME - This article is about me. Much of it is, admittedly and candidly, too personal, from my publisher's web site, tracing back to my own organization's site, up on the nef for more than ten years. The Bibliography is something I wrote for the information of Wikipediareaders. It is entirely factual. For the record, a casual scan of Google or Amazon.com will show that I am a rather well-known and controversial author on occultism, UFOs and similar subjects. I have repeatedly asked associates to clean the piece up technically (I do not have the skill) and to revise it to include critical material from various points of view. It is not a "vanity" piece by any standard of self-promotion in any sense, though I am gratified that there is an entry about me, I think *an* entry is merited, and I myself am much in favor of including some critical study as well as a healthy clean-up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Allengreenfield (talk • contribs).
• Keep - I have known Allen Greenfield personally for 13 or more years and I attest that the information in this article is accurate. That said, it is also a tad spun and needs to be cleaned up. I am looking into doing some edits. tau peristera 01:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - published author. Ekajati 16:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
