• Delete, his book is published by Lulu Press, who appear to be a vanity press. Doesn't appear otherwise notable in the slightest. Seb Patrick 10:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and protect. Has already been deleted twice, and he is still not notable. His book Business Trip is also on AfD. --Ezeu 01:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all above. Note that User:192.197.71.189 deleted the AfD text from this article, I've reverted it. Paddles ^T_C 07:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• I don't see why this author should be treated any different from any other published author. His book was published, has sold many copies, and is sold over various vendors including Amazon. Just because he is not yet well known doesn't mean he shouldn't have an article. I googled the guy and there's piles of articles and whatnot about him. I say the article should stay. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.197.71.189 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 2 June 2006.
• Leave it! I agree with the guy above. This is an author who has put work into his writing. I'm a fan of his writing and he deseverves an article here just as much as any other writer. You guys are jerks for saying he's not "notable" just because you haven't heard of him before. YOU are the vain ones. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dsmith1987 (talk • contribs) 3 June 2006.
  • Suggesting that the subject of an article might not be notable enough for an article in WP is not bad ettiquette, but insulting other editors definitely is. Stay cool. Paddles ^T_C 06:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• I appologize for insulting you. But seriously, there is no real reason to delete this article. You keep saying vanity, but it would only be vanity if the guy made the article himself, which he didn't. I bought a copy of his book and loved it, so I researched the guy and wrote this. You can google him if you like. There IS info out there. I say it's a valid article! Since when is Wikipedia running out of space?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsmith1987 (talk • contribs)
