==Dave Kerpen==
It's probably worth noting that, although I have not met Mr. Kerpen, [[Phil Kerpen|his brother]] is a good friend of mine. However, I think Mr. Kerpen easily meets the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]], and I have created this article accordingly.

Per [[WP:CRYBLP]] and [[WP:SELFPUB]] it is clear that the confession to using bulk purchases is not a [[WP:NOR]] or a [[WP:BLP]] issue.  Moreover, the [[WP:BLANKING]] by [[User:WWB|WWB]] smells like [[WP:SELFPROMOTION]]. [[User:A-B-Economy|A-B-Economy]] ([[User talk:A-B-Economy|talk]]) 03:09, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

All right then, I came here from [[Wikipedia:Third_opinion]].  I think the Book Buying section should be removed.  The sources are [[WP:SELFPUB]] and [[WP:PROMOTIONAL]], and not valid (even though A-B-Economy is not promoting Mr. Kerpen).  Unless some indepedent, reliable sources can be found, the section should be removed, along with the mention in the lead.

:Thanks, Howicus. In fact, the whole thing played out on the personal blogs of Mr. Kerpen and Mr. Mendelson, so there are not independent, reliable sources concerning the incident. I'll go ahead and remove the material now. [[User:WWB|WWB]] ([[User talk:WWB|talk]]) 20:08, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
