Some wiki criteria for notability:

1. The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them.

YES – The Getabstract business book award is a major and influential international business award and the Frankfurt fair is considered one of the top book fairs in the world.

2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.[7]

YES – I am a contributor to the Routlege Key Concepts Series, on the subject “Torture,” – that is, my contribution the subject is considered worthy of entry in a very influential series that defines subject areas for college students. Language of Empire is cited over several disciplines…

I made early and important contributions in the alternative press to the two most important stories in the last ten years in American politics – torture and the financial scandal.

3.. The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

YES – MOBS, MESSIAHS, AND MARKETS has been the subject of many independent reviews and citations. So has THE LANGUAGE OF EMPIRE

4. The person has been interviewed by major media or press

YES – in several papers.

Of course, it’s not upto me how these criteria are interpreted…

FINALLY – Very relevant – the context. Last week, I wrote controversial blog posts on the Wall Street-media mafias and social media attacks, and I also criticized my co-author’s company for a two year history of mis-attribution. I believe this nomination is a result of that attribution fight.

Last week, I also went on to say a few more things, naming some extremely powerful people and revealing that I had email records to document what I was saying. Thereafter, the deletion nomination appeared [delete removed, August 7]

The first and second nominations for deletion also appeared in a political context.

Added (August 7): It’s also the case that on the wiki entry, I was able to list my articles and where they were first published. Bonner has been publishing my articles (in the book) under his sole name.
Take away my wiki and they can wipe out my contribution more easily so reviewers can’t see who wrote what so easily. They can still see it on my blog but they can attack my blog/twitter or prevent others linking it too…which they have done.
