Per WP:BIO, WP:AUTO and WP:COI. The page (according to the history) looks like it was created by the subject, and it also reads like an autobiography. The history shows it was crafted mostly by single-purpose accounts and/or single purpose ips. There exist at least two books called Generation Debt, which complicates google evaluating, but the subject's book has received limited attention by people other than the subject and it has a sales rank on amazon.com in excess of 500,000. Google searches for the subject's name show the subject's articles in syndication but little else other than a few blog posts. Thus no WP:RS to sustain notability. Being a staff writer and column contributor for magazines is not notable in itself under WP:BIO. Antiselfpromotion ( talk) 21:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC) reply
