191:. This article reflects biographical data available in most university libraries and online portals to recognized biographical databases. The "See also" section evidences a dozen instances of Marquis Publication Who's Who recognition in at least three areas of endeavor spanning a period of two decades. The text of those listings indicate international recognition and award in several European and Asian nations. Absent contribution by an industry or personal publicist/biographer, information available through publications such as Marquis or newspaper articles/columns would appear to be the only objective basis for verification of biographical data under the standards for inclusion.
294:
not a particular honor: their selection policy seems to be rather inclusive (logical: the more people are included, the more might buy a commemorative plaque or the actual editions in which they appear, which seems to be the main source of income for this outfit). In addition, all info they publish is provided by the subject, so this is not an independent RS. --

Actually, Marquis does not require payment for inclusion, I am not even sure that one can get listed simply by paying a fee (I have been included in several of their editions and that was purely their initiative). Having said this, I agree that
Marquis' listings don't establish any notability and are

Definitely autobiography and COI (which of course doesn't mean the article couldn't be fixed if the subject was indeed notable), and as the article creator inadvertently points out, the lack of sources other than those he paid for because of an inability to find better sources is evidence of lack of

Probable? Did you notice his name at birth compared to contrib name? Angst? The actual fact of the auto part is immaterial but it sounds like it based on rather trivial personal events: Became an early AOL power user? Negotiated leases? I mean among some central notability a few details can be

Possibly even a speedy delete as both promotional and no plausible claim to notability. If evidence were need to demolish any claim of
Marquis WW for purposes of notability, its this article. BTW, you don't even usually have to pay--I certainly didn't the 2 years they included me--their apparent
493:, possibly speedy as advert. Ouch. No plausible claim to notability whatsoever. Google Scholar, Books and News got nothing. A general Google search for "path of the serpent" +lipton found me his blog (confirming that the SPA is indeed the author, or at least using the same username).
315:. I tried to search this material independently; I found little to no mention of the subject's books or theories anywhere. One item here that could possibly convey notability is the subject's alleged connection to the Kuchars and Andy Warhol, but this is not independently
