[edit] Monroe Mann

The webpages are consistent, but he also seems to have been a major self-promoter himself already. I don't think the Iraq part is enough to make him notable.

• Delete per nomination. Tfine80 06:28, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete the only thing close to being notable is a minor role in Swimfan. Keep it is a bad quality article, which makes it hard to realize the notablity of the subject--Rogerd 01:23, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• keep Huh? He's a published author of two books, one of which was reasonably successful. How is that a not apparent notable fact? His Swimfan credit is really quite irrelevant.
• Delete - an earlier recreation of this (with different facts) Monroe mann was speedied by me, and common consent of the afd, on September 30th (nnbio, nonsense, attack page). Unfortunately, I think this version needs to have its 5 days of fame, but if recreated, in any form, after that it should be shot on sight. --Doc (?) 09:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete agree with Doc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:32, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per nomination. utcursch | talk
• Keep. Published author. 64.108.199.247 15:55, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Mr. Mann published 2 books, one of which is #156,483 ranked in sales... the other of which is in the #600,000s. They are published by a small publishing house. Not exactly overwhelming evidence of notability as an author. He appeared on Wolf Blitzer, but that's not much of a claim to fame either. His service to his country is commendable, but not any more notable than the service that thousands of other young men and women have performed (and are currently performing). He's the CEO of a non-notable film company and the lead singer of a non-notable band. He had a minor role in a movie. So what are we debating here? This guy has had an interesting life, but not a notable one... at least not yet. His biggest attribute seems to be his shameless self-promotion (aka "Future Oscar Winner"). Delete because the gestalt is as non-notable as the individual achievements.--Isotope23 17:07, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Seems to be a different Monroe Mann to the last one we speedied. Still, nn. - Hahnchen 18:43, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Isotope23. Sliggy 19:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Isotope23 is quite right. Dottore So 06:48, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. There are less notable people on wikipedia.org 64.108.199.247 00:04, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Isotope23. Tireless self-promotion does not an encyclopedic bio make. Quale 04:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
