[edit] Steven Farmer

Fails WP:BIO. Not notable. An undistinguished author published by an undistinguished publisher. His only apparent claim to legitimacy seems to be a PhD from Madison University (not to be confused with similiar sounding good schools), which is a diploma mill. Article has no value and no info about him. Arbustoo 04:50, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

    • Comment I moved a long section added by a new user (first and only ever edit made here) to the talk as it does conform to the normal AFD policy. To view it see this talk page. Arbustoo 01:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable; article perhaps created as an advertisement.--John Foxe 14:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

  • comment I didn't create the page as an advertisement. Doreen Virtue's article mentioned her husband who is an author in his own right and so I linked the two. Hay House isn't an "undistinguished" publisher either- I don't know where you got that from Naysie 02:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
    • "Hay House" is undistinguished. It is not a publisher that requires evidence, research, or academically reviewed material. It publishes material, which goes against academic research. It's best known author is Sylvia Browne.Arbustoo 02:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep bio -- this person represents a popular culture, even if it's alternative. Don't feel it's an advertisement but could use more information. Johelia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johelia (talk • contribs)

  • NO DELETE: actually Louise Hay would be Hay House's best known author, but that beng said, Doreen Virtue and Esther And Jerry Hicks are popular authors too. '"Hay House" is undistinguished. It is not a publisher that requires evidence, research, or academically reviewed material. It publishes material, which goes against academic research.' [Arbustoo] - this can be disputed.

    • Comment This is Kalimajik's first and only ever edit. Also Kalimajik, feel free to provide scientific evidence for your claims. Such proof would win the nobel prize and we would have to throw everything we known about science out the window. Good luck with that. Arbustoo 20:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I'd like to point out that no changes have been made to the page. No one has asserted how this person meets WP:BIO and the only one who want to keep are three user accounts whose only edits have been on this voting page. I think this should be deleted even more so. Seems like vanity. Arbustoo 20:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
