Doughboys

Delete. This appears to be a vanity page for an unpublished (and generally, that should mean not notable) novella written by Christopher Levy (User:BigGuy219). This book could not be found on Amazon.com as a published work, and the article appears to have been created and largely edited by one anonymous IP. The writer has also done some edits on the page. Might be a great novel, mind you, but if everyone published a summary of their unpublished Great American (or Russian, or British or what have you) Novel, Wikipedia would be filled to the brim.

Additionally, a page called "doughboys" would more appropriately be used as a explanation of the WWI term for soldiers. The 1930 Buster Keaton film is also in wide circulation. Westwinds 23:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nominator Ruby 01:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unpublished book by author we don't have an article on yet. Would vote to keep an article on Buster Keaton film. Capitalistroadster 02:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Sounds like self-glorification and/or attempt to publicize on the above-mentioned user's part. --Kinu 03:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - as per nomination. The author of the novel's a Wikipedian, and not even he's defending it. --djrobgordon 06:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
