| Author deleted an attempt at a speedy. Essentially a vanity(I forget what the new euphemism is) article for a non-notable personage, with a lot of verbiage stating that the author is an unpublished author, and webmaster of a dead website and is now a tour guide.

| It seems that Misplaced Pages states deleting an attempt at a speedy is perfectly permissable so why is that an issue? The author of this article is also writing a book about pioneers of spirit communication and chose to register and enter an article about tobias mcgriff bc he is a relevant figure to this. Especially in the southeastern United States. The websites listed are merely matters of fact not an encouragement to visit. I suppose you would say that it was an attempt to gather followers if the sites did work though wouldnt you? Additionally, I am not sure why the author did not state some of the other works of Tobias McGriff but he is a multiple published author in online articles and magazines. I say you may want to delete specific referneces to websites and book names but the subject matter is relevant and to say that someone is a non-notable personage is very subjective. Someone that comes to wikipedid to research EVP would probably ver well be familiar with Mr. McGriff. I am. {{unsigned|Jdbuyers}} | |||

| I am Tobias McGriff and I say DELETE as well. I appreciate the emails I got yesterday telling me of this debate taking place here on Misplaced Pages (which prompted me to create an account today)from some folks who are fans of the work SPC is doing and I do believe a local writer (original poster) and a couple of other recruited people signed up in order to post positive comments on my behalf (to confim the above users post about Jdbuyers being a new user). However, there are historical inaccuracies in the "bio" part of this article, the websites and works given are inaccurate, and the person who posted it used my last name as part of their Misplaced Pages sign up name which seems a little odd-although I think Misplaced Pages is a pretty good site I do not want an entry in it about myself or SPC regardless of the noteworthiness or remarkability. Thanks to all. -Tobias. {{unsigned|TobiasMc|14:33, 1 November 2006}} | |||
