[edit] Don Lemmon

Seems non-notable, but not quite a speedy. Makes clains of notability, but they seem implausible. Does have a number of google hits, but the first few look like advertising. Delete unless evidence to teh contrary is prsented. DES ^(talk) 00:26, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• He does seem to be married to Asia Carrera, FWIW. Redirect there, if nothing else. tregoweth 00:39, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Comment http://imdb.com/name/nm0006562/bio states that she is married to him Tonywalton

• Keep. Call me an inclusionist, but this guy's got over 13000 hits on google, all related to him and his profession. Themindset 01:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Passes the Google test. --Titoxd 01:35, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but Wikify. It reads like an ad, not an encyclopedia. JDoorjam 01:49, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I saw this earlier today and did some Googling and decided it was worth keeping. Zoe 05:06, August 13, 2005 (UTC)All right, DavidConrad convinced me to vote delete. Zoe 18:20, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Delete—Wrote some books, markets his own diet supplements, and married a porn star; it's not curing cancer, but it's good enough to be Wikified. I'm convinced by the comments below. --Tysto 05:52, 2005 August 13 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable published author is the only thing keeping him from being a redirect to Asia Carrera, IMHO, but as it stands he merits his own article. Needs a good tone cleanup and a fact-check, though. Fernando Rizo T/C 07:27, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to Asia Carrera in light of R. fiend's research. Fernando Rizo T/C 16:51, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Delete What evidence is there that he is a notable published author? The article states that his books are self-published. Markets supplements? Lots of hits? Try this: in the first ten Google results, planetofthegods.com is registered to the same person as donlemmon.com and donlemmonknowhow.com, and donlemmonproductions.com, donlemmonsoil.com, and secretstoaperfectbody.com are all registered to Don himself. Only trulyhuge.com, bodybuilding.com, and martingroupdesign.com are independent of him, and the last one doesn't actually make any mention of him. The only thing I can see him being notable for is being a ruthless self-promoter. OK, well, he already has at least half a dozen web sites devoted to his cult of personality, why does WP need to promote him, too? The only thing remotely notable about him is Asia Carrera, and he's already mentioned in her article. Delete without so much as a redirect. --DavidConrad 08:12, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The Google test can be rather distorted by self-propagandists, and I'm sure there are plenty of peddlers of dubious diet suplements (diet supplements don't work, so they're all dubious). 13,000 google hits aren't impressive if they're all crap. Average Earthman 10:37, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Why not a Redirect to Ms Carrera? --Marcus22 14:09, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• delete, assuming he is self-published. I found one book on amazon with a sales rank of over 650,000. -R. fiend 16:16, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, does not seem to be notable. --KFP 16:47, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, vanity backed by vanity press. -Splash 17:35, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. One sentence on Asia Carrera is enough. Flowerparty ^talk 18:42, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, doesn't seem very important. GregAsche 22:44, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per David's points. Dottore So 22:01, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
