[edit] Jack kenny

Non-notable author who apparently got 1 book published. Tempshill 17:03, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I would vote Keep, on the basis that it is a genuinely published book. However, it is published by [1]. Whlie this is not a vanity outfit, it acts unlike a normal publisher in that it doesn't make any effort to market the book, and it produces a small number of copies that are sent to sellers on a 'returnable' basis. I think that being published by PublishAmerica or a similar outfit should not be regarded as producing notability. The Land 18:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree (and voted below), but would point out that returnability is a criterion in support of the legitimacy of a publisher, rather than the opposite. Trade (legitimate commercial) publishers' books are returnable. MCB 23:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as I concur with The Land's assessment. Amazon isn't selling the book and unless Mr. Kenny publishes other books I don't think he has quite gotten to notability yet.--Isotope23 19:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per The Land. MCB 23:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
