[edit] Christopher Clyde Orcutt

The entire article reads like self-promotional vanity to me. If enough people disagree, leave me a note on my talk page and I will withdraw, but as of right now none of this adds up. RFerreira 07:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Looks like self-promotion to me too. The fact that the website is the most prominent thing on the page is a dead give away.Routy 15:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. (And, really, for all the noise he apparently makes about writing about not writing, what we end up with is just a blog. Big whoop.) -- Captain Disdain 15:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. -- Alias Flood 17:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and whack Chris Orcutt redirect at same time. --DaveG12345 02:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep page and give Chris Orcutt some feedback on revising it so it isn't 'self-promotional vanity'. There isn't a single non-verifiable entry on the page. With due respect, if you cut every page with a hint of self-promotion, Wikipedia would become very small very quickly. Nowhere on the page do I make outrageous claims, and I only put up the page after receiving dozens of emails from visitors to NotWriting.com who wanted to know more about the author. To technology people my blog may be nothing, but in the writing (and procrastinating about writing) community, NotWriting is very popular. I've logged over 10 million hits in four years from visitors in 30 countries. Now that I understand Wikipedia's "no self-promotion" policy, I am open to cutting any elements in the entry that violate this policy. Now, if you still decide to delete my modest entry, I just have to ask you, what would constitute a valid entry for a writer? In other words, if you vote me off, what objective criteria do I (and my entry) have to meet in the future to get back on Wikipedia? Let me work with Wikipedia on this to create an entry that meets your standards. --Corcutt007 19:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
