Deletion of Robert F. Smallwood

Comment: At http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=195102118, in a comment dated July 9, 2007, Smallwood identifies himself as RexBacchus.  So now we must add  and  to the many problems with this article.  The post also admits that ''The Five People You Meet in Hell: Surviving Katrina'', ''Prisoners of Katrin'' and ''Brando, Tennessee & Me'' were all initially published by "Bacchus Books of New Orleans."  So this proves that he self-published these books before vanity publishing them

Comment: Thanks for your clarification Bilby. With this new information, Robert F. Smalwood becomes a rather more borderline case. His  is less certain. The issue the Wikipedia moderator must deal with is whether his book on Surviving Katrina http://www.amazon.com/Five-People-You-Meet-Hell/dp/1419617249 here and the other on Brando merits notability. As for me, I have nothing more to say. If I had a vote, it would be '''No opinion

As the previous editor said, allegedly being published by a "vanity" press is a Ignoratio elenchi|red herring and irrelevant to the person passing our notability guidelines

Comment: I don't know if User Rexbachus who created this article is just a fan of Smallwood's work or a close friend of Smallwood in which case this would be a conflict of interest. However, when Qworthy nominated this article for deletion, he should have told Rexbacchus about his actions. It does not sound right that I (as a third party) had to tell Rexbacchus about the nomination instead. On the topic of Robert F. Smallwood, I found 43 references to him http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=Robert+F.+Smallwood&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=100&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images here He has published some books but seems relatively minor. But...he may be notable as a person who experienced and wrote about the Katrina disaster. Also, roughly the first 10 of the books on this Amazon list appear to be written by him: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Robert%20Smallwood  Therefore, I have decided to change my vote from Delete to Weak keep. I am slightly more convinced of his  now
