Non-notable individual who paid money to notorious vanity press Xlibris so that he could go around posing as an author. This is something anybody with a heartbeat and a checkbook can do. Notability cannot be "self-conferred" by such tactics, as per WP:BOOK and WP:SELFPUB. Apart from this, the only assertions of "notability" are that he was born to a man and a woman, he went to college, and his father was once arrested. I can't believe this article has gone unchallenged for so long. You could write an article like this about anyone pulled randomly out of the phonebook. Qworty (talk) 15:25, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
