Elaborately puffed vanity bio of a horror writer with two books (from vanity press Authorhouse, ranked #2,655,846 and "none" at Amazon). Gets 468 Google hits -- the top one being this article. Delete. Calton | Talk 00:28, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. From "November 18, 2004: Wikipedia has placed me in their prestige list in their Encyclopedia. It is a true honor to be amongst legends as Stephen King, and Clive Barker." — I guess that means he didn't write it himself? I wonder where the author got all the information from, then. Calton, I think you'll find he is on Amazon for both books, however, he is published only through vanity press so he's still non-notable under WP:FICT. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 00:47, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Uh, I know he's on Amazon, which is why I noted the Amazon sales figures in my original posting. Clear? --Calton | Talk 01:04, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Apologies, I thought you were saying you could only find him for the first book. *slaps forehead*. Smile! --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 01:21, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
