REASONING — The problems with the John Reed (novelist)-page are: Jeff5102 21:58, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This article is listed for cleanup since November 2008, but since that time, hardly anything had improved;
 * As one can read in the talkpages, it is highly suspected that this article is made by some of Reed's many fake identities (like Novelreader, Lyltry and IP-adresses for promotional purposes. Some people already found this out a year ago, but as far as I can see, nobody had asked for a deletion before.

 * Comment: Needing format cleanup has never been grounds for deletion. Shameless promotion is not in itself grounds for deletion unless it disregards a lack of notability or quotability. Are these qualities not demonstrated by such a bastion of literary criticism as Suicidegirls.com? ~ Ningauble 21:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
