Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Debito Arudou
a notorious self-promoter, to be sure, but he has been covered non-trivially even before he filed that lawsuit, e.g. in ''The New York Times'' http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9805E7D8143DF93AA15752C1A9669C8B63. Sometimes known by former names Arudoudebito Sugawara or David Aldwinckle. The article's 20+ citations to his own website and other |self-published sources need to be scrutinised much more carefully though; articles should not be written primarily based on self-published sources
