[edit] Craig Forgrave
A writer with one book published with a press that doesn't seem to meet the guidelines. He isn't on Amazon. He fails WP:BIO, and his book fails the inclusion guidelines for books.
I am also nominating Devil Jazz as the book in question. Crystallina 04:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Keep: Normally, I see a published book, no matter what it is, as notable. Maybe we should wait and watch. ~ Porphyric Hemophiliac § 04:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)- Delete both per nom.--Peta 05:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - Google found this profile of him, but I still think he doesn't pass WP:BIO. The book definitely doesn't cut it. And it does look like the publisher does vanity publishing. My Alt Account 09:40, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete One (possible vanity published) book does not, generally, make for a notable author. And that is true here. Marcus22 12:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete if that press is a vanity press, but Keep otherwise. Lankiveil 12:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC).
- I don't see any likelihood of it being established either way. Looking at the publisher's web page, there's a lot of talk which sounds like code for "you can pay us, instead of us paying you" (i.e., vanity press). But perhaps they do a little of both. In which case, only the author could tell you. My Alt Account 13:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I had a quick looks and it looks like a vanity press to me, I've simply included the other option in case I'm wrong, as an "out" of sorts ;-). Lankiveil 12:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC).

Comment: Rememeber this from WP:BIO: "This is not intended to be an exclusionary list; just because someone doesn't fall into one of these categories doesn't mean an article on the person should automatically be deleted."~ Porphyric Hemophiliac § 14:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)- Delete, only one reliable, third-party, non-trivial source = fails WP:V.
