[edit] The Only Three Questions That Count

Recreation of content originally speedied by Admin Glen [1]. This was recreated and subsequent Prod and Speedy tags removed. Before deciding, editors may wish to look at the original version of the article which is a spam linkfarm for Ken Fisher who attracts a lot of spam. There is a consistent pattern among many Finance-related articles whereby a hit and run editor creates a Spammish article and leaves, this is then stumbled upon by another new editor and worked on. It appears to me that is is being done for advertizing purposes. Editors may wish to consider whether this article falls into that category. Pleclech 13:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable spam. Nardman1 21:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, although I'd be amenable to persuasion otherwise. This would appear to be a book that was published by a reputable publisher (John Wiley & Sons) that has received some reviews in important publications like Forbes. But financial and investment advice books tend to be somewhat ephemeral and faddish, and as such I'd want evidence of enduring interest or long runs on bestseller lists before taking them in. - Smerdis of Tlön 21:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep book by major publisher. Faddish though the subject matter may be, the book deserves a place on Wikipedia. Fg2 05:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep (and possibly rewrite) - This article could definitely use some work, but it's published by a major publisher as stated above. It also has several external news articles about it, so it's notable enough. .V. -- (^Talk_Email) 06:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Reviewed in notable publications as detailed in article. Shaundakulbara 08:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Written by a nationally prominent figure, published by John Wiley & Sons. Top selling over at Amazon at the moment, number 26 overall, number 2 in investing, ahead of Jim Cramer's books (for you Jim Cramer fans, or nonfans, as the case may be).

• Keep Notable subject matter if not much of an article. User:Dimadick
• Keep It has received reviews from legit US, UK and Canadian national news organs including Forbes, Financial Times, National Post, and Smart Money among others. The author meets the criteria for Wikipedia:Notability based on his Forbes columns, and academic and professional achievments. I've recently been editing it a bit (not the creator, just a wiki-contributor), but could definitely spend more time on it. Per Caliwiki - its now the number one business book at Amazon. Notable. - Netsumdisc 19:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
