Gabriel Torres[edit]

Fails WP:BIO, non-notable author. Another self-promotional article that uses Wikipedia to advertize the individual's books. The article was created and fully expanded by Technorj. The article uses Clube do Hardware as source, but mind that Clube do Hardware is a website creted by Gabriel Torres himself. EconomistBR 13:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Article claims Torres' books are bestsellers on submarino.com. Submarino.com is a oft-visited site according to statbrain. Not sure how many sales that would turn into, but it's relevant to take that into consideration. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I dug up his Complete Course book on Amazon and did a search on the publisher, no other books came up, suggesting this was self-published. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
