 * Delete, even his "personal website" is just spam. ~ UDScott 18:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 19:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. - Personal Site isn't spam. Author does rank on first page of Google for his name.  I added it as an external link. (EzineArticles.)
 * Delete - The first four Google results return four different people. None of these guys are notable. Koweja 23:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity article. My name in Google brings me up for every one of the first 20 hits. This does not make me notable; it just means I've had my name mentioned in more Google-collected webpages than others with the same name. Google is a tool to discover notability through Web references, not evidence of notability itself. It pops up here so often because the reverse is usually meaningful — no Google presence is near-conclusive evidence of an un-notable. When there are Google hits, they must be examined, and the only potentially notable "Joe Regan" I noticed was a 19th-century baseball player. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
