[edit]resolved COI issue. I cleaned up article significantly: added references, edited out unsubstantiated claims and/or non-neutral verbiage; expanded on "Criticism" section, adding more opposing critiques; strengthened notability via Notabiility for Creative People:
- Subject is notable due to the following two clauses of WP:Notability for creative people:
- "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique." - the book(s) is the first of its genre.
- "(c) has won significant critical attention" - there is an endorsement of the book from Charles Johnson, a National Book Award winner, as well as several critical statements of the book from reputable publishing companies (Reed Business Group, Inc., Publisher's Weekly, Library Journal)

Paid editing
[edit]The article was apparently produced by paid editing from a now -banned editor --see WT:Paid editing#Suspicious activity . The reviews section needs further attention--comments of even distinguished authors in blogs or blurbs are not reliable sources; the PW and LJ sources must be cited to the exact original article, not to Amazon, Based on Google News Archive, there is sufficient material to do this right.

- Paid editing is not against Wikipedia policy (though you and I both might like it to be). There is currently no consensus in the community on it one way or the other. So I have removed the POV/COI paid editing tags. see http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:RFC/PAID.
I left the {{orphan}} tag, however. Artemis84 (talk) 22:45, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
