Vanity/Advertisement page. Only claimed notability is publishing a book with only 5 unique Google hits. Or, to use the new term: WP:VSCA Wingsandsword 03:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:VSCA and WP:VAIN. --Kinu 03:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It just clicked in my head that the author of this page is very likely the subject. Maybe userfy instead? --Kinu 03:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, do not userfy. Userfying is pointless when the author only contributes to their own vanity page. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy is what I would have done. Andrew, consider this: person comes along and creates article on themself. Maybe cluelessly, maybe deliberate vanity. Scenario 1: delete, chomp. Scenario 2: Move to user space, subst template:nn-userfy and leave a welcome message. I would say that the trivial effort in doing 2 is justified if as many as 1 in 100 people go on to contribute properly instead of just walking away. I haven't userfied my 100th yet so I don't know if that is going to happen, I am a notorious idealist. But anyway, userfy is what I would do here, the user page is redlinked. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 13:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete vanity. The point of a user page is to describe a Wikipedia contributor. Someone who comes here just to write a vanity page wants the page as an article, and would not have written it in a user page no one would ever find. Elfguy 13:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
