::But they do exist! Three of them can be found by searching "Rubén Serrano" at the [http://catalogo.bne.es/uhtbin/cgisirsi/y7CiQgoftK/BNMADRID/88131474/123 Biblioteca Nacional]. Has anyone reviewed them, that's the question. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 12:20, 3 Iunii 2008 (UTC)
:::An encyclopedia ideally containing millions of articles might well want to accept as a matter of principle that anyone who (1) is a natural person (i.e., not a hoax) and (2) has published five real books (or maybe even just one real book) can be the subject of an article, no matter how the information happens to come to light. Many historical figures are known mainly because they were self-promoters, and many nonnegligible others are lost to us because more powerful self-promoters squelched them and their works.

::::"Ideally" you might be right; but bear in mind that anyone can publish a real book, just as anyone can put up a real homepage or a real blog. It's a bit more complicated, that's all. You write it, you pay a printer to print it, you apply to the national bibliographical service for an ISBN, you send it to the national library. Doing this proves that you have money to spend, but I don't think it proves you are notable. That's why en:wiki (for example) wants there to be at least two published reviews before an author gets to be notable, and that's a pretty easy test, I would say. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 11:54, 5 Iunii 2008 (UTC)
 
:::I have added references that demonstrate the validity of the article.--[[Specialis:Conlationes/80.32.164.112|80.32.164.112]] 10:54, 5 Iunii 2008 (UTC)
::::Not for us. These are press releases. A photograph of Serrano and four bored charity people does not prove that he or his books are notable. Sorry.
