  • Delete as per nom, but move content to his user space. -Ladybirdintheuk 13:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • neutral contravenes WP:AUTO but everything factual and nothing blatant. I would however consider him notable, having had books of his published by Prentice Hall and Pearson. Ohconfucius 13:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Multiple published books. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Quite a number of books with major publishers. Article is short and totally factual. Even if this is deleted, the article should be recreated by another editor. Dlyons493 Talk 14:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Dlyons and inasmuch as, even as WP:AUTO and WP:VANITY look with disfavor on a user's creating an autobiographical article, where such user is notable and such article is neutral and sourced, there's no particular harm in a user's having created it. As to the subject's notability, I've never been certain of the propriety of WP:BIO's 5000 copies formulation, but I think this subject is likely notable even under more stringent criteria. The most recent book (A Dialog: Programming with the C++ Standard Library) might merit its own article per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (books)#Note on notability criteria, so I think its author most probably is.
