: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)

::You're right. Wikipedia should totally pretend 
thisa scammer is a real bestselling author even though he admitted he bought his way onto the list. That is what Wikipedia is for; scammer PR.  Also, shutting out anyone new who wants to contribute some truthful information. Great job. Congrats. I won't come back. (Also Howicus has obviously never read the exceptions to [[WP:SELFPUB]], b..  But for fun here's what [[WP:SELFPUB]] actually says:
    the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim; CHECK+++
    it does not involve claims about third parties; CHECK
    it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source; CHECK
    there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; CHECK
    the article is not based primarily on such sources. CHECK
But don't let your own rules get in the way.) ⏎
