[edit] Stephen J. Petrick

Contested prod; reason given for prod was "Non-notable self-published (lulu press) author." Sources not present, establishing lack of non-notability, and the contested reason given in the edit summary, "Author's website is yet to be complete and published articles have recently been written, though not yet published.", doesn't mesh well with the fact that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.

• Delete as failing WP:Bio. Also the article appears to be autobiographical (the subject's myspace page is the same name as the article's creator), which might suggest that the promise of future notability is wishful thinking. Regardless, does not meet the notability standard as yet. JEB90 (talk) 22:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. This is obviously a case of self promotion by a non-notable individual.Insearchofintelligentlife (talk) 23:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete unless citations from reliable sources are added to comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 14:12, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

• Strong Delete. Vanity-press writer who's come here to write vanity articles about himself. Also, the guy removed the deletion tag from his own article, and that just plain stinks. Qworty (talk) 00:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable. Fails WP:BIO, and the creator of the article gives it away... Milk’s Favorite Cookie ^(Talk) 01:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
