I placed this article only to provide the community with another source of verifiability for notablity.If appropriate,I would be happy to have the name of the publisher deleted but I honestly cannot see how else it could be construed as advertising!(Vr 06:14, 16 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by "provide the community with another source of verifiability for notability." As far as I can tell, this article doesn't do that. dcandeto 06:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A quick search reveals that the book in printed version is in its 69th year of publication [1], and on-line version is also available. It appears to be an important publication. Let me see more - I shall come back. --Bhadani 08:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I may add that the google gives at least 84,700 hists for the entry "The International Who's Who", and a number of them directly connect to this particular publication. This page is not an advertisement - a book running into 69th edition do not require to be advertised here - rather, we write about such publications here. --Bhadani 08:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This organisation is kind of dubious, see also these pages about it: http://forum.aa419.org/viewtopic.php?t=5998&sid=0b2cafaf65074e3f207e3036040518ff http://www.traveltowork.net/2008/10/your-whos-who-nomination-scam-emails/ http://thebusinessofknowing.blogspot.com/2007/10/pandering-to-ego-scam-email-for.html I would like to suggest to delete this page, since it seems that is just a page to support a scam (this conclusion is based on the previous mentioned links, and many more stories that can be found around the web). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.184.231.254 (talk) 05:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
