This article is about an author who is relatively unheard of. It seems to be of a self-congratulating, self-promoting nature that is unfit for Wikipedia. I also consider it neither useful nor encyclopedic for the average person. Not a notable figure by any means.

- Keep. Please see http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/02/books/bestseller/200607bestpaperbusiness.html to confirm that a book of his was on the New York Times list of Paperback Business Best Sellers for July 2, 2006. That's a pretty compelling argument in favor of notability. See also Worldcat for a list of libraries with each of his books. --Eastmain (talk) 19:26, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Rumbauskas also has quite an impressive amount of media coverage as any Google search will show. Also, the user who nominated the article for deletion has no Wikipedia activity other than this nomination which makes the nomination itself suspect. He is a 'new user account' created the same day as this nomination ... is he a competing author, perhaps? Jthorley65 (talk) 02:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC) JThorley65[reply]
