[edit] Dave Alber, M.A.

Author of two self-published books, includes advertising linkspam. Both books are on Amazon and together have 5 customer reviews, all of which were added within two weeks or so before these page on Wikipedia, all give 5 stars, and most of them include the same advertising links - this reeks of vanity spoofs. The same Wikipedia user has also created Mythopoesis, which is an OR essay advertising the very same two books.

• I am also nominating Mythopoesis, for the above reasons. Delete both. Lukas ^(T.|@) 14:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• procedural comment I have split the entry for Mythopoesis out into Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mythopoesis, just below. DES ^(talk) 16:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Does not seem to meet notability guidelines. I doubt whether he sold 5,000 books for example. Sounds like self promotion. Dr Debug (Talk) 14:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as vanity ad. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 15:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• weak delete as vanity, unless evidenmce of notability is cited. DES ^(talk) 16:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
