I disagree that this article should be deleted. This is a stub about a book. Some day somebody will expand it. - Vald 20:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I checked its Amazon sales rank and it was +2,000,000, which is absolute horrible. While the book may be important to you, there are more than 2 million other books which are selling more copies. There are only 1.5 million wikipedia articles. If someone feels strongly about it in the future and is willing to put the time in to write a proper article that establishes why it is notable the article can be recreated. --ChrisWakefield 04:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I have merged the two articles as I don't think there is enough to justify to separate articles, and this is a good half-way measure. I still think that a case can be made to delete this article, even after the merge, but it is not as straightfoward as before. To solidify such an article, it is best to find 3rd party references, such as a mention in the NYT or LATimes or other high profile publications. Otherwise Bill comes across as a nobody that no one really cares about except himself. Cheers. --ChrisWakefield 21:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
