Delete - Vanity/advert - see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/C Programming Mistakes - Looks like an advert for the book/site/person in combination with the other article about the book. - Tεx τ urε 19:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Keep adverts should be re-written, but he's notable IMHO. He's [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201845199/qid=1121806586/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i3_xgl14/002-1603187-5812845?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 published] and he gets his name splashed around the net (because of said FAQ) enough to achieve fair [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Steve+Summit%22+%22C+programming%22+-wikipedia&btnG=Search Google notability]. -Harmil 20:59, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
Delete. If the only thing to say about him is "he wrote a C programming faq", then he's not notable. Also, getting a book published is not a big deal; we don't, and won't, have articles on most published authors. Wile E. Heresiarch 04:03, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I'm not gonna vote -- I'm waaaaaaaay too biased :-) -- but let me just say that I have no problem with deleting the article, but if it is deleted, the link on C programming language#External links should be delinked, too. (It was only to "fill in" that preexisting link that I composed the -- admittedly mildly vain -- article.) Steve Summit 03:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
