- The main problem with the article is not neutrality. It is the simple fact that the cited source is a book whose publisher is listed as the author himself. Checking, I find that the book was in fact published via a vanity press. Whilst it is present in the author's book, on the author's web site, in the author's web log, and on the web site of the vanity press company, there's no evidence that I can find, and (as usual) no evidence provided in the article, that this concept has gained any traction in the world at large outside of its author. Thus, the article is original research, plain and simple. Delete. Uncle G 03:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

- Simple delete is fine. Original research laundered through a vanity-press book. --Calton | Talk 06:07, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

- Silly over-the-top message urging a Delete. Atlanta Nights proved that it takes no effort whatsoever to get a book published in a vanity press. --Zetawoof 09:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, sort of. A true vanity press is one where authors pay to have their books printed, and will therefore indeed accept any manuscript. By contrast Atlanta Nights was a scam played on PublishAmerica, which claims NOT to be a vanity press. The authors of Atlanta Nights were challenging that claim.

- The Angel Of Deletion ain't passing over this one. More OR. --Last Malthusian 11:07, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Agree with Uncle G. NPOV is not really the issue here. I say delete but there is somehow a point... Too original for now. Gtabary 12:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

- And lo, it came to pass unto Wikipedia that thyne words within tyhne own created article were not good; and lo, said unto Wikipedia editors that thyne article must hence be Deleted from whence it came; and Wikipedia saw this article deleted; and it was good. doktorb 21:29, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
