Non-notable author, as are all of the authors associated with Featherproof books, which is also nominated. Corvus cornixtalk 05:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete. The nominator is absolutely correct. Featherproof books fails WP:CORP, while all of the associated authors we've seen so far fail WP:BIO and WP:BK. These authors are Zach Dodson, Jonathan Messinger, Brian Costello, Todd Dills and Susannah Felts. Three different editors have nominated all of these associated articles for deletion. Somebody--probably associated with the Featherproof micro-press itself--has been going around spamming Wikipedia with articles about every non-notable person ever associated with Featherproof. While the associated AfDs have not been bundled, all of these articles should be deleted. WP:RS indicate that Featherproof consists of a couple of people who have come together to publish themselves and their friends. That is not what WP:N and WP:BK are all about. And now somebody has shown up here to pepper the related articles all over Wikipedia. Qworty (talk) 06:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete This person fails WP:BIO as of June 2008. She's just not notable at present. Artene50 (talk) 08:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete since the magazine or the book Degrees of Separation is not notable itself regardless of the "Featherproof books" issues the nom is referring to which I am not aware of. -- GarbageCollection - !Collect 12:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. No independent sources establishing notability. Gamaliel (talk) 17:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete The author and the company both fail notability requirements. Featherproof books seems to be based in someone's basement; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Featherproof books. — Wenli (reply here) 21:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
