[edit] Jim Underwood

No notablity, no sources, and has been this way since 2004. Arbusto 05:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Is this the same Jim Underwood who wrote "More Than a Pink Cadillac" (a book about Mary Kay)? I suspect it isn't, but I can't find any biographical info on that Jim Underwood; if it IS the same guy, it was a best-selling book. Our Jim Underwood is in fact still a prof at Dallas Baptist, that is easy to verify from their site. --Brianyoumans 06:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and continue expanding. He is the best-selling author. --Use Your Naugin 09:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep appears to be a published, well-selling author of business books. RN 09:58, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Verify "published" and "best selling" with sources, and we'll keep it. Arbusto 16:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• [1] - usa today review, [2] - businessweek bestseller list. RN 16:16, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Read "Brianyoumans" comment above. Those two articles you posted are about a book about Mary Kay Ash called "More Than a Pink Cadillac." Can you verify a professor at the Dallas Seminary (as the article claims) is also the "best selling author" of a book about Mary Kay Ash's comestics? Arbusto 17:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not notable. In order to keep a direct connection must be made between the comestics book and the professor. Nickieee 19:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I did some more research and found a 'smoking gun' - this IS in fact the Jim Underwood who wrote the best-seller. I will update the article. I found at least one other source, a Baptist site, that said the same thing. I don't know why his university isn't making a big deal about it, but he does seem to be the 'Mary Kay' guy. --Brianyoumans 23:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Brianyoumans' research, that is a reliable source. GRBerry 02:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Brianyoumans, also if an article is unsourced, it needs sourcing, NOT deletion. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
