[edit] Don Donovan

Vanity creation of Donovan0001 (talk • contribs • count). Does not meet WP:BIO. Note that he is not the author of notable books but something closer to souvenir books. Google gets 284 unique hits for "Don donovan" + "new zealand" [1] not that bad but not a whole lot either and going through the links I could not find evidence of significant third party coverage which means that the article's content is most likely to remain unverifiable.

• Comment It seems like it's borderline. The article needs work, for sure, but it's hard to tell how notable those publications are. Any Kiwis know anything? --GumbyProf: "I'm about ideas, but I'm not always about good ideas." 05:21, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. A Google News Archive search for "Don Donovan" comes up with one relevant hit from New Zealand Marketing Magazine see [2] Capitalistroadster 00:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep, published author, "One Man's heart attack" and "New Zealand Odyssey" are available in Auckland public libraries.-gadfium 01:08, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Clearly an autobiography. If he is notable someone else would write him up, and it seems clear he is not. Seldumonde 17:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
