[edit] Leopold McGinnis

Leopold McGinnis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:BIO. A short biographical article, over half of which deals with the author's self-published novels. Largely the creation of LitLives and Blainedavid, two single purpose accounts. The notability tag, in place since 19 April 2007, has remained unaddressed. Victoriagirl 03:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. We have an ongoing problem with non-notable "writers" coming to Wikipedia to insert bogus information about their completely non-notable "writings." If their books aren't good enough to be commercially published, why should we give them a platform here? Qworty 04:22, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per above. CitiCat ^♫ 04:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete No real asertion of notability in article or talk page, so surely CSD A7 applies? Also author fails "Amazon" test. Pedro |  Chat  08:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
