[edit] Clayton Makepeace

Looks like autobiography. I removed most of the POV, but what remains doesn't seem to assert notability. If he is in fact one of the top five earners in direct marketing, he might be notable, but that doesn't seem easily verifiable (and a seven figure income seems rather low in that context). I haven't checked all 892 google-results on "Clayton Makepeace", but if there are any reliable sources, they are drowned in the ads for seminars and books, so verifiablity might also be a concern.

• looks more like an ad to me, with links to buy his marketing stuff. Delete article and incoming link spam. -Sanbeg 23:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• I did write this article (my first one) because Clayton is a frined of mine and he is a great copywriter. Sorry I didn't follow the rules and guidelines. I think Clayton has earned his place here. He is AWAI Copywriter of the year 2005 plus after Makepeace’s “Power Marketing Summit” that was held in April of 2006 in DC he confirmed his position as a marketing guru.

• Delete. Does not meet WP:BIO. --Satori Son 22:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• How about rewriting? It's easy to delete, isn't it? Unless Mr. Makepeace is not the right person to be listed in Wikipedia. Arseniusz
