[edit] Justin Robert Cooper

Tagged as a speedy as a nn-bio. I'm not quite sure, since Cooper has published some poetry, I think there is an assertion of notability there. I will note that Facets of the Soul was published by Lulu Press, which I think is vanity press. No vote. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

From vanity press: A vanity press or vanity publisher is a book printer who acts like a publisher and charges writers a fee in return for publishing their books. Lulu doesn't ask a fee for publishing your book, which means they're not a vanity publisher, btu then again, I'm biased. I have a Lulu account. - Mgm|^(talk) 14:01, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - I originally tagged it as speedy but you're right, it doesn't quite qualify, though it's close. OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 13:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Being self-published isn't a bad thing, but this author has no Barnes&Noble ranking, an Amazon ranking of 1,985,976 (in Books) and a Lulu sales rank of 6,302. None of them particularly impressive. This book is their only work [1]). I don't think this author has the required audience to get a Wikipedia article, but I'm eagerly awaiting an article on Jeremy Robinson (B&N bestseller, also Lulu author) and Mark Jeffrey. - Mgm|^(talk) 14:08, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
