[edit] Kenneth Eng

Not really verifiable, almost everything out there seems to be what he's put up himself in an effort to establish some kind of online presence. At best I can confirm that he has one book, published through what looks like a vanity press, available from amazon.com, with a suspiciously high number of five-star reviews. Claims to be "the youngest published science fiction novelist in America", which is entirely bogus. I don't know who is, but Christopher Paolini is apparently one better candidate. --Michael Snow 03:37, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:VAIN. Royboycrashfan 03:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as very unremarkable vanity. Wow...he likes shellfish, made a presentation in high school, AND is allergic to dogs. What a guy. -- Krash (Talk) 03:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. I love shellfish, am allergic to dogs and got chucked out of class several times in high school. Where's my page?Montco 03:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. Capitalistroadster 04:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1,280,561 for Dragons: Lexicon Triumvirate. No other listings available.  (aeropagitica)  07:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete maybe after the 2 additional novels come out, he can stay. His external links are an alumni site, a minor journal, press release, e-mag, and last one's not working -- Samir ∙ T C 08:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as vanity. --Terence Ong 13:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete in light of WP:BIO (and WP:VAIN). The name seems very familiar though, as if he's been through AfD/VfD before. Sliggy 13:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as VanityCruft, several miles south of WP:BIO Deizio 01:11, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete under WP:VAIN, and brace yourselves for him to crop up again, if he treats Wikipedia anything like Amazon.--Plaidfury 15:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and others. – Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 00:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
