[edit] Andrew Riddles

Non-notable author published by vanity press. Victoriagirl 03:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Aw, come on! His book is ranked #3,603,520 in sales on Amazon - that's a best-seller, isn't it? Delete --Brianyoumans 04:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm withholding judgement until I can get further information, but not ranking on Amazon doesn't necessarily make a book not a bestseller; if I can find any evidence that he's been ranked in Maclean's or The Globe and Mail, that will suffice perfectly nicely. Not that I'm holding my breath or anything (I'm pretty sure Victoriagirl's right, because she does know her stuff when it comes to writers), but an American bookstore is not the final arbiter of whether a Canadian writer is notable or not.

• Delete You're a bestseller if you just say you are, right? --Ricaud 07:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom -- Alias Flood 23:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. His assertions of notability are unsubstantiated. Not a bestseller in my book Ohconfucius 10:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
