Removal of 'Suggested for Deletion' tag

I have taken the liberty of removing this tag. Mr. Smith is a nonstop self-promoter, it is true (this page was generated, and its only activity so far, has come from a self-confessed employee of Mr. Smith - see http://www.wavejumper.com). However, the fact that he has published several books, has been on nationwide television shows, has been heard by many audiences, and has 1,240 hits when googled (granted, most of those hits are advertisements for his speaking services) - this shows that Mr. Smith has the notoriety (or notability) necessary for inclusion in Wikipedia (IMHO). I hope that all yall agree with this decision.

I do have one question, since I had not heard of Mr. Smith before stumbling onto this wikipage: does he just SAY that he has accomplished his marvelous adventures, or are they reliably documented somewhere? Can anybody provide details or links? Thanks in advance. Raymondwinn 08:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
