[edit] Duane Elgin

proposed delet of non notable person's entry per WP:BIO. The subject has 51,700 Ghits, and none on the SRI international search engine. The article appears to be a vanity piece for the subject. It is possibly self-created, or could violate (in part) the article posted on Shift in Action. Ohconfucius 06:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I added several books that he published. He sounds notable in light of the new information. When you encounter a potentially nn author, it is often worthwhile to visit http://catalog.loc.gov to see what he or she has written. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 07:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - No evidence of notability via WP:V, WP:RS, WP:CITE. May fail WP:OR and WP:NPOV. GBYork 12:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep and cleanup. Voluntary Simplicity is an extremely well-known book. bikeable (talk) 19:49, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. 51,700 G hits is not that bad. All it needs is some expanding and a bit of a rehaul. --Nishkid64 19:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep — per bikeable. Volutary Simplicity does seem to be a popular book. [1] Also, I don't get why the nom refers to the 51,700 ghits as a reason for deletion. Dionyseus 01:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Commnet - "does seem to be a popular book". That definitely nails down it's notability! You are not very discerning if ghits and listings on Amazon.com does it for you. NLOleson 12:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
