Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doug Smith (author, columnist)
A guy who writes for his local paper in a small town is not a notable author and ''never'' will be unless he does something truly major, which so far, according to this bio, has never been in the cards for the guy.  I mean, he's never even published a book with a major press, right?  And there are certainly no  ''about'' him!  I say we get rid of this thing
