Autobio. by subject User:TraustiV - self promotional, only edits are this and promotion of his book. He may be notable, but that should be determined by others. Vsmith 13:56, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. 800 Google hits; not enough to justify rewriting an unreferenced autobiography. YechielMan 16:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per notability and COI. ~ UBeR 19:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete non-notable and possibly WP:COI. Hello32020 21:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Valsson is a notable authority on the subject of urban and environmental planning in Iceland, and has published more than anyone else (in Iceland) on the subject. If you disagree with how the information is presented on this page, why don't you suggest how to improve it instead of marking it for deletion? Kjmag 10:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Appears to be a genuinely notable author; this history of planning in Iceland appears to be an important work (and even has a forward by Sir Peter Hall). Needs references added, cleanup, and watch for WP:COI. bikeable (talk) 15:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Bikeable. Can be worked on, and sufficient sources exist. Daniel Bryant 02:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep per bikeable. COI is not a reason to delete articles. I have attempted minor cleanup of the article (including adding an external link). -- Black Falcon 07:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
