I can't find anything on Mr. Easttom that wasn't written by the man himself. He appears to be on a crusade of self-promotion, but nothing is jumping out at me to support his notability sufficiently for a Wikipedia article. Lots of claims, nothing really notable. Bullet points two and four in the biography section may be borderline and warrant some investigation, but that's pretty thin. He also appears to be seeding himself throughout the wiki, if the opening line is anything to go by. What say you? Closedmouth ( talk) 11:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC) reply
Yes it is an autobiography. But
a. This individual FIRST appeared in wikiquotes NOT written by himself. So clearly wikiquotes finds the persons thoughts quotable.
b. The person IS actually a well known computer author. A number of other living authors also have biographies in Wikipedia. Therefore beinga biography is NOT in and of itself a reason for deletion.
c. There are MULTIPLE citations including links to wikiquotes citations of this individual. Other citations including the Computer Technology Industry Association website references to this individual, Amazon.com listings of his books, and Google scholar references to this individual. All of those ARE reliable links.
It frankly sounds as if you simply don't like the individual and therefor want him deleted. This entry is a biogrpahy of a living author, who was FIRST listed in wikiquotes (without his knowledge even), and the entry contains reliable links/sources. There is NO legitimate reason for deletion. —Preceding

It sounds to me as if that's where we are now. Is anyone saying that Chuck Easttom is more than minimally notable, or that User:Chuckeasttom is not actually Chuck Easttom? Unless that's the argument, this article should be deleted per the subject's request.
