Talk:Tim Johnston (businessman)

Delete proposal
I have to say I resent the application of a delete proposal only 7 minutes after I created the article as a stub. As a result, my very first revision encountered an edit conflict! Be that as it may, I will not be contesting the deletion. I am not the sole judge, nor even a significant judge of notability in WP :). Cheers Bjenks (talk) 04:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

If the article is deleted, please redirect to Firepower International. I've now created a dab page at Tim Johnston, although the other items are all red links - enough of them to justify the dab page. PamD (talk) 12:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Career before Firepower
As a matter of interest, this gentleman has been rated "top of the list" of notable con-men in Australia's history. (And Oz boasts a long list of legendary con-men.) He was aged about 50 when the Firepower episode came to notice, so there is probably a great deal of earlier bio on him. An ABC TV interview program showed that there were earlier scams in New Zealand, eg: "KEN GRACEY, FORMER TECHNICAL SALES MANAGER, FIREPOWER: I started with TL Chemplex. That changed from TL Chemplex to TLC. They went from TLC to TLC Engine Care. He then changed to TLC Oceania. He then went from TLC Oceania to TLC, was it T? - no sorry it went to TPS Firepower. He then went from TPS Firepower to Firepower. And I was with the last section of Firepower until 2003 and it's changed names I think four more times since then, or five times since then again."
