Jason S. Hornsby[edit]

Author known for two books published by vanity press iUniverse. Other than these books, article gives no indication of notability. The article on his recent book, Every sigh, the end, is up for deletion as well. Only 28 unique Google hits for this guy, none of which help to establish notability. Article claims an interview with something called "Omnibus," but whatever it is it has no Wikipedia article, and this briefly-alluded-to interview probably would not be enough for notability anyway. -Elmer Clark 07:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only reference is extremely vague and not even enough for me to look up. Why is the reference partially wikified to the word in general? Are we meant to believe the whole article comes from an interview? Even then no notibility is shown at all to pass WP:BIO, nor is the book passing notbility books guidelines.--Dacium 08:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Question has anybody checked the sales figures for his books, or are they sold out of his garage? Alf photoman 13:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One book is sold through Yahoo, with a rank around 180,000th. --Kevin Murray 19:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Book at Amazon.com

Delete - vanity plain and simple.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 17:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete As written and referenced (interview) this is original research. The reference to a magazine article is compelling assuming good faith that it is more than trivial. Do we have the right to get some details on what the magazine said, before judging the notability? At minimum this is a candidate for a cleanup. --Kevin Murray 19:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unreferenced and of very little note to the rest of the world Alf photoman 19:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No evidence of notability. The fact that the article describes him as an 'underground author' only confirms this.--The Spith 19:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no reliable sources. -- Whpq 20:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
