Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeff Riggenbach
normally I'd say that as ''In Praise of Decadence'' (ISBN 9781573922463) appears to be in over 200 libraries, when combined with his http://books.google.com/books?as_epq=Jeff+Riggenbach&as_auth=-%22Jeff+Riggenbach%22 Google Book and http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22jeff+riggenbach%22+-author%3Aj-riggenbach Google Scholar hits, the article should be kept. I'm !voting delete, though, for two reasons: primarily, because the article currently has no third-party sources. If none can be found, there simply shouldn't be an article. Secondly, because, as the subject himself wrote above, 'As for whether I'm "notable," the Marquis Who's Who in America seems to think I am, but what does it know?' Well,  explicitly says "entries in biographical dictionaries that accept self-nominations (such as the Marquis Who's Who) do not prove notability." If that's the best he's got to prove his own notability, then I don't think we've got enough here.But as I said, it's mostly about how the article currently contains ''zero'' |verifiable |reliable sources. Per , again: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is |reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." I just don't see that we have it in this case
