[edit] Gary Jacobsen

The more I look at this, the more it looks like vanity. It was created by user Gary Jacobsen (talk · contribs) and it links to his personal web page. Userfication may be appropriate. Discuss: --Xrblsnggt 09:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• thats completely heartwarming, but Delete. Userfication would be fine. --Musaabdulrashid 10:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• No it isn't, per WP:AFD and {{vanity}}. Userfy, though I note a small and unreferenced assertion of notability in that While teaching, he authored two award-winning books: Spokesman for the People and Grammar for Everyone. Tonywalton  | Talk 10:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • "Spokesman for the people" is ASIN: B0006R1YCU and seems extremely nn --Musaabdulrashid 20:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • "Grammer for Everyone" is equaly so and ASIN: B0006RMYTM. Both books are listed by slightly different titles on amazon, though that may be normal. --Musaabdulrashid 20:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity per nom ST47 11:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Userfy and delete per nom unless the awards can be verified - in which case weak keep with cleanup required. Paddles ^T_C 13:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Only Google hits for either book title and Jacobsen are this Wikipedia page. Even if they've won "awards", I'd wager they weren't notable awards. --Geoffrey Spear 13:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as a violation of WP:BIO (non notable) and WP:VAIN. Thε Halo ^Θ 13:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Vanity, Non-notable as per above. --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 15:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Not as an author, but for "Operation Pegasus," which is seen as very important by quite a few conspiracy theorists. There were several operations by that name, so Google isn't very helpful. If the subject worked as closely with George HW Bush on this as he says, he's probably notable. So keep for now and try to get the author to expand and verify.

• Userfy until notability can be verifiably established. Yamaguchi先生 00:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
