Nothing notable about the person. The author was Baxter himself (User:Billbaxterdtm) and IMO was using Wikipedia as an outlet to peddle his non-notable published works. Also, please take the time to read Baxter's response in Talk:William Edwin Baxter...he is clearly so into himself that he can't see the light of day that he is, in fact, not a noteworthy human being.

- Delete Notable in his own opinion, but not under the limitations in the encyclopedia that anyone can edit ("The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times." or "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.") According to the article, he has sung the National Anthem at several MLB baseball games, which can be said of thousands of people; and he's created crossword and find-a-word puzzles, which has been done by many a person, though few seek recognition for it. Take this somewhere else, please. Mandsford 03:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
