[edit] Randy Jernigan

Fails WP:BIO. References are limited to vanity press IUniverse, press release websites and the like - all of which fail WP:V. The creation of Randyej (talk · contribs), a single purpose account. Possibly WP:COI. Victoriagirl 16:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages. The first, The Writer's Studio of Utah, fails WP:ORG. The second, This Thing Called Love: Love Stories to Gladden the Heart and Warm the Soul is a self-published book that fails WP:BK. The claims that it is "a cult classic in the United States and Great Britain" and that it sold "nearly five hundred thousand copies after its first year of release" are unreferenced. Both are the creation of Randyej (talk · contribs).

  • Delete All the sources I could locate seem to be self-generated, and the book is self-published. The gentleman seems to be an enthusiastic self-promoter, but he doesn't meet WP:BIO or WP:Verifiable. Accounting4Taste 17:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Website is about a month old; book is self-published, and I couldn't find a single byline other than on promotional/ugc sites...and most of those were press releases filled with facts not found anywhere else. But this press release did it for me: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/4/prweb117116.htm Flowanda | Talk 19:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
