Vanity page with no claim of notability other than authoring a self help book. References given are the subjects business website, a link to where you can buy his book, a message board, and an online editorial written by the subject. Fails Wikipedia:Notability (academics).

Delete Does not meet notability. ― LADY GALAXY 15:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete I wrote the article so obviously I think it should stay. He is a notable author and a notable researcher. Moreover, his techiniques for treating Anxiety Disorders are unique and innovative. It is not a "vanity" page. Unkle25 (talk) 23:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I can appreciate that as the author of the article you want it to stay, but notability must be established, not just asserted. Please see the general guidelines for notability (WP:Notability (people)) as well as those specific to academics (Wikipedia:Notability (academics)) for what is considered notable on Wikipedia.
