Talk:Mark W. Smith

message: It seems to me reasonable to combine the book article with the author article, especially if the author article can be revised to have a neutral point of view.  Dthomsen8 (talk) 16:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Merge. Really no point in having a separate article for a work like this. I could see a separate article for authoritative or extremely popular works, but I don't think this arrives at that level. 66.64.164.150 (talk) 17:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combining book article with author article 

message: The article makes claims about Smith being a "best selling author" and has been on a number of television shows. However, when one looks at the sourcing such claims from blogs (like proteinwisdom.com ) or the IMDB or Amazon.com. The problem is such sources fail wikipedia policy of WP:RS. Some-random-guy's blog isn't reliable for obvious reasons, Amazon.com postings just copy what publisher endorsements say (such as Amazon.com classifies Kent Hovind as "Dr" and a scientist) and the IMDB is reader contributed.
Thus, if this person is really notable there must be SOURCES that prove this. Unfortunately this article is made up poor quality blogs/promotion that attempt to put this figure in a light that is questionable. SBIDog69420 (talk) 04:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
