[edit] The Road Letters

The Road Letters (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

An unencyclopedic entry for a self-published book that fails WP:BK. The creation of Pribaudo, a single purpose user whose only other contribution has been the creation of Phil Ribaudo, an article on the author of The Road Letters. Victoriagirl 17:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page as it fails WP:BIO:

Phil Ribaudo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete both as non-notable book and author, possible WP:COI too. By the way, I fixed the "Related article 1" link for you. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 17:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both as non-notable Bigdaddy1981 17:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both per my nomination (and suspected WP:COI). Victoriagirl 18:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both, nn book/author + poss. almost certain self-promotion. Would still run if i saw him with a kitchen knife, mind. tomasz. 21:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both, non-notable author and a non-notable book by a non-notable author. Seems to me like self-promotion... *Cremepuff222* 23:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete either, Does not fail:WP:BK or WP:BIO
  Pribaudo, NEW user whose FIRST contribution has been the creation of Phil Ribaudo, an article on the author of The Road Letters.
  Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and a 1000 other notable, non self-promoting places are selling this book. The book has significant importance. Raises: Breast Cancer, Social awareness. The book is currently being review by Hollywood producers to be made into a major motion picture. Phil Ribaudo is anything but not-notable—do your homework! Read the book if there's a question.

Who is the judge of significance?
Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia to share and educate—why are you trying to prevent that???
tomasz. would run if he would see him with a knife—grow up!

• Comment. Notice that my serious reasons to delete this brace of articles are spelled out in the sentence before my "hilarious" commentary. The fact i said latter doesn't alter in the smallest part the legitimacy of the former. and thanks very much for nicking my sig, P"Jolly Roger"ribaudo, you can stop fronting like it's not you now. tomasz. 05:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
