Borderline speedyable vanity bio; despite the large list of refs, most are to the subject's own site; no WP:RS refs demonstrating non-trivial coverage. The only editor of this page also created several articles about necktie knots the subject designed: The Jacques Knot, Templar knot, Excalibur knot, Devil Makes Three knot, Corkscrew knot.OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:29, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Pretty much exactly what the nom says: vanity bio with no reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:21, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I can't find anything that makes this person notable in a reliable source. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 17:56, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I'm the creator of the page. The personal site links are primarily due to the fact that Manarchy Magazine went under and the content disappeared. It was then archived by the subject for posterity.

In direct response to the initial post, however, of the 74 remaining references, and minus the 10 for archived Manarchy articles, over 50 are to a third party site with which the subject was only affiliated by solicitation. That is quite a majority. This person has over a decade of creative work to his name in many diverse fields. He keeps a fairly private life, but myself and several of his fellow writers (Caleb J Ross, Craig Clevenger, Richard Thomas) felt like this page was long overdue, and a few of them have helped in creating it.

There are also (unfortunately) many copy-writing and ghostwriting projects which cannot be disclosed due to non-disclosure agreements for a few years yet. I've just been notified that the Installation Solutions copy-writing gig must be removed from this page due to the same type of agreement, and this must be done before the new site goes live.

All that is to say, we did this page for Anthony because he is one of those guys who keeps the rest of us going, he's always involved in our projects on some level, and we felt his diverse body of work merits mention. Irelocus (talk) 22:07, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
