[edit] American Biographical Institute

This is not a notable institute, and it has already been described and listed in the entry "vanity press". It might be suitable for either deletion or merge into vanity press. Fspol 05:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand, just becase its been described in another article doesn't mean it can't merit its own article Delete per Roodog2k --TBC??? ??? ??? 05:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Abstain. Not enough context for me to establish a vote. Royboycrashfan 05:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • delete Am I going crazy, or did nom create the article a week ago and is now proposing deleting it? Roodog2k 14:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Looks like it - I'd assume a consequence of further research. Average Earthman 16:43, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I would say delete seeing as this is borderline G7. Royboycrashfan 19:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment. Apparently User:Fspol joined Wikipedia to create the article on Valerio Massimo Manfredi. The user's information on Manfredi noted he had won some award from ABI. So the user also created an article on the "institute," using information from ABI's own publicity materials. When I changed the article to point out that ABI is a vanity publisher (a nice way of saying "scam,"), Fspol realized what ABI actually is. -- Mwalcoff 00:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
