[edit] Mehdi Zand

The subject's only claim to fame is that he wrote a self-published book which he say "rose to the top of the charts in its category". I can only assume that its category is 'obscure self-published books that didn't sell many copies', because the Amazon sales rank is about 2.5 million (slightly below Synonymy and Semantic Classification by Karen Sparck Jones, a very obscure textbook). Not notable. DJ Clayworth 14:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, which is, by the way, a particularly entertaining nom. Uucp 14:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per (amusing) nom. I must admit that I myself endeavor to be described as "a living phenomenon." -- Merope 14:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and WP:VAIN guidelines --Amists 15:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, author that fails WP:BIO, article appears to be vanispam by an author with no other contributions to this project. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete for now, unless references are included that substantiate notability, then maybe, if you can find me, I'll change my vote. Addhoc 19:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per vanity and advertisement. Author has just written one book, which is obscure. --Ageo020 23:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
