Vanity page written almost entirely by the subject. Marginal notability; Google hits go to his personal site and his profile page on various web forums, blogs, etc. Dppowell 20:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete unless some coverage is found. Being nominated for awards isn't enough for WP:BIO adn there don't appear to be any independent sources to verify information from. Trebor 22:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Does not appear to meet WP:BIO standards for author notability. "Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work." Appears to be a work of self-promotion. Alphageekpa 11:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • ""Do Not Delete"" While the information on the entry is self-provided, I am the author of many short stories, a novel and several novellas. I am establishing a presence within the field of fantasy and science fiction literature. Many Google hit go to sites other than my own: HWA, ANNIHILATION PRESS, Twilight Tales, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.135.142.149 (talk) 22:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC).
Can you provide links to independent sources on your work? Or point to where you pass the notability requirements for people. You may also want to read our guideline on autobiographical articles. Trebor 22:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
