[edit] Goodloe Byron (novelist)

Vanity? This guy doesn't seem to google well, but I guess he has published a couple books; I haven't determined if they're vanity presses or not. His sales ranks at amazon hover around 2,000,000 for one book and a wee bit better for another. Lots of redlinks here. -R. fiend 00:26, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Sales rank at about 2 million, doesn't sound very noticeable to me. Delete. --Titoxd 00:32, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, needs serious cleanup. --Merovingian (t) (c) 11:37, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete, doesn't seem notable. --BradBeattie 14:47, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable--BirgitteSB 16:50, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete I cleaned up the syntax inasmuch as I was able (the intended meaning was really not all that clear). The guy's grandfather appears to be fairly famous (put a mention there?), but no reviews after a year on Amazon for his second book. Eldereft 17:09, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable, and doesn't inherit any from his grandfather. -Splash 19:27, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. --Carnildo 23:00, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nn, he is published by a vanity press, PublishAmerica. Check out the Wash. Post article on that company. --Etacar11 01:37, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to grandfather, and mention. Septentrionalis 02:19, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nn author. JamesBurns 04:34, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
