Fails WP:BK, fails WP:RS, fails WP:BIO, fails WP:COI, fails WP:N, fails WP:V, fails WP:SPAM, fails WP:single-purpose account, and so on and so forth. Google throws up a palty 21 hits, [1]none of which can be considered WP:RS. Qworty (talk) 22:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete very close to G11 advertising. Not one library has the one book he's published. A list of books with one published book on it is a new low. DGG (talk) 02:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Folks;

I created the page about Glenn after doing an interview for a magazine, yet to be published. I felt I wrote it in a neutral voice without a slant. I thought this was following the Wiki-policy.

If we need to eliminate the external links to remove any hint of COI, let's consider this course before we delete the entire article. While Glenn may not be widely notable now, I believe he will be in time. I can ask him to provide add'l sources for confirmation.

He has been previously published in various magazines and his book will be out for wider distribution within a month - libraries by the end of the summer. There will be people wondering who he is - I thought that was what Wiki was all about...

How do we edit this article to remove any hints of COI and keep it part of the Wiki-community?

Everett

UPDATE: I removed any reference to Geez Press or current contracts to eliminate or seriously reduce) the COI. Please reconsider. Thanks.

• Delete. No sources, no indication of passing WP:BK or WP:BIO, nothing found in a search of Google News Archive. EverettGee, promoting a new author is not what Wikipedia is all about, sorry to say. --Dhartung | Talk 03:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
