These deletion votes are a funny thing. Someone can make national headlines and their article will be deleted (WP:NOTNEWS! WP:BLP1E!!), but David Shankbone--who is, as far as I can tell, nothing but a shameless self-promoter and a rather unpleasant member of the Wikipedia community--should have an article? Seriously? In any case, the article looks like a vanity piece probably written by Shankbone himself or by a friend with Shankbone's encouragement. If he chose some other avenue aside from Wikipedia to promote himself, this would be treated as one of those laughable vanity articles that gets unanimous delete votes.
