LA Times article that is about him. Plenty of coverage. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 06:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

This is self-promotion, period. Write it from scratch if you want, but the current version should be speedy-deleted under G11. 152.3.246.246 (talk) 18:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't write this article, and I don't care if this version is deleted. I just felt that a speedy deletion was too speedy. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 19:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Why? Do you disagree that it's a G11? 152.3.246.246 (talk) 19:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not 100% familiar with policy, but I have found that it is easier to get articles deleted if they have no claim to notability at all. (See my user page, I've got over 300 articles deleted in the last few weeks.) A Proposed Deletion tag would give the author five days to rewrite the article.
