Not encyclopedic, subject is not widely noted as significant.
Delete Here we come again to John Ennis, who created this article himself in December 2004 from an IP address, apparently as a marketing platform for his obscure websites. As a self-described numerologist, mystic, psychic, self-published author, artist, musician, poet and filmmaker he made some very fuzzy, not very notable predictions on the USENET a long time ago. Today, a page like this would be speedy deleted within hours, maybe minutes, then likely salted. However back then, CSD was more limited, Mr Ennis edited very agressively, Wikipedia editors became curious as to who this was and after a long edit war which some still recall as The Sollog Wars the article settled uneasily into its present form. What is notable about this topic? A few articles in a local Philadelphia free weekly newspaper? Some highly unreliable attributions to a handful of USENET posts? A passing line or two in the NYT and the Guardian in the frenzied, rumour driven aftermath of 911? I don't think this topic meets our notability standards. Ennis is not widely noted, nor has he done anything widely noted as significant. Instead, what we have here is a hit piece on a living person who only tried to use Wikipedia as a spam delivery node. This article never would have been started if he hadn't started it himself and the overall sweep of the narrative about this non-notable person is wholly negative. We have big conflict of interest and biography of living persons worries wrapped up in a biographical article about someone most folks have never heard of and wouldn't care to.
