I removed the {{db-spam}} tag because this author may be notable; a promotional biography should not be speedy deleted if there is a chance of its being notable. A Google News Archive search returns ten results; however, all ten refer to different people who share the same name. Armen Melikian appears to fail Wikipedia:Notability (people) and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

I will withdraw this AfD if reliable sources can be found to establish notability. Cunard (talk) 08:29, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:58, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete No assertion of notability. Just some text about a book he wrote, which doesn't seem to be a notable book. --Pontificalibus (talk) 12:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• As noted above by Cunard, I originally tagged the article for speedy deletion, but a discussion is good. Even if the article is retained, it will have to be completely rewritten. If "Books In Print" doesn't think the book is worth listing, that's says something about its notability. There is a website for its publisher "Two Harbors Press", but I think the site is unfinished because the connection to order the book doesn't work.WQUlrich (talk) 02:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - unable to find any reliable sources writing about this author. Note that the book publisher in their About Us page specifically states "Many of our authors are not yet established, perhaps just beginning their publishing careers." which might explain the lack of coverage bout this person. -- Whpq (talk) 18:01, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
