Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Forrester
per , with a lack of  and a big dollop of . I consider the present article unsalvageable. Take a single sentence: "On 1 January 2007, ''Houseboating in the Ozarks'' was named "Best Book of 2006" by film & literary critic John Otto." If one goes to the blog referenced (item 4 in IvoShandor's list above), one finds that the blogger is not a "film & literary critic" but an Illinois lawyer, and one who happens to be personally acquainted with Forrester. Moreover, if one checks the archive, one finds that the blogger merely wrote that he liked Forrester's book best ''of all those he had personally read'' in 2006. If Forrester is so bloody notable, let some uninvolved party write an article about him; this one should go in the trash bin
