Deletion of David Rehak

Comment: In fact, the Angel Dust and Just My Best books were published through Lulu.com and PublishAmerica as reflected in their ISBNs and on the publishers' websites. That said - and with all due respect - I think we're getting a bit sidetracked here. After all, one can be self-published and notable, just as is is possible to have been published by as prominent a company as Random House and not be notable. The nom is based on the argument that the subject fails to meet . No information has yet been presented to counter this. Frankly, assuming the article's contents are accurate, this information should not be at all difficult to uncover

Comment: First let me thank you for such a lively debate. I haven't been this intellectually challenged and stimulated in awhile. I've checked into it and registration of ISBNs indicates that these are indeed 4 different and separate publishing companies, so they cannot be publishing through each other. And of the 4, only Lulu offers self-publishing, which means that the author can pay for a distribution service. But you're right that there's no need to get caught up on that. In my humble opinion, although I haven't bothered with hunting down the articles and links and citations, based on web searches and offline sources I remember reading, I come to the belief that the information is sourced and it meets . I understand you feel differently, and that's fine, I fully respect and understand, and we can agree to respectfully not agree. On a purely subjective note, I must say I have really enjoyed this author's books and it would be for me a big pity to see this interesting article deleted and removed, as I would be interested in seeing it change and expand as the author's career progresses. With that concern in mind, I of course leave it up to wiki administration to make the final call.  —Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by

Comment: I'm glad we agree that the self-publishing issue is an aside. That said, I think it important that no misconceptions persist. The ISBNs on Rehak's books belong to four companies that serve self-publishers: Lulu.com, PublishAmerica, https://www.createspace.com/ CreateSpace and Just My Best Publishing (warning: this last publisher's site features malware). On to the issue of notability: As it currently exists, I cannot agree the article meets . Simply put, there is no indication that the subject meets the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIO#Basic_criteria basic criteria
