Deletion of Van K. Tharp

Comment: This person does not seem to meet the |basic criteria for biographies. While he has been interviewed in a couple of books on investing, the actual biographical information seems too superficial and lacks editorial oversight. I am also unconvinced that these interviews are intellectually independent of the topic - it seems more like a walled garden of a bunch of "investment gurus" writing books and interviewing each other. If the consensus is to delete, also '''salt''' since this has been repeatedly recreated with such a promotional tone

Comment: ndash; Fails . I found a few references of subject in the reliable sources (http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-206987033.html ''Futures'', http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Qualified-retirement-plan-exempt-from-10-penalty-2597019.php ''San Francisco Chronicle'', etc), but almost all of them are trivial.  also gives useless results

Comment: There is nontrivial coverage of him in the Schwager reference, though I think not in the Covel one (from what I can see in Google books preview), so we don't have the multiple sources required by . Beyond that, though, I think the autobiography, self-promotion, and advertising issues here are too much of a problem to allow us to keep this
