The result was Delete. Mere existence of sources is a necessity, not a sufficiency. The question is, does this subject have historic notability (see WP:N). Venture capitalist and self-publisher with no sign of either being especially notable, and no evidence in this discussion to show "enduring notability" of any kind. Article sources are 3 college sources and a couple of transient writeups related to self-pub material and a non-notable false alarm due to a book delivery (see WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:EVENT). None of the respondents in this discussion have actually shown any strong evidence of non-transient historical notability. Although a minority, AFD is not a vote; the delete views seem to be well grounded in Wikipedia policies and guidelines. FT2(Talk | email)22:49, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
