John Blanchard[edit]
- John Blanchard (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
No sources other than the author's webpage. Claims to be a writer of evangelical religion, has a dubious degree, and makes claims of importance, but not proven. There seems to be many people with the John Blanchard's in the press. This article has been on wikipedia and if here's notable, I would have thought someone would have added one source in two years.
- Note this is not John Blanchard (politician) or John Blanchard the movie director of The Last Polka.[1] If this is deleted, one of these more notable Johns should replace it.We66er (talk) 07:33, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:COPYVIO. See [2]. It appears that he may be notable (award, bestseller claim, number of books sold) but as of right now this article is nothing but copyvio and a list of things he has written. Unless someone volunteers to completely rewrite this, it needs to be deleted, probably speedily. TallNapoleon (talk) 08:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. So many books, so little notability. WWGB (talk) 11:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per copyvio concerns. In case you are wondering, I'm not related to this guy. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 21:36, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
