Hi. I see that you attempted to delete this article. There were some problems with the templates you used, so I went ahead and removed them from the article. Before I complete the deletion nomination (and I'm happy to take care of that for you), I wanted to ask a couple questions. First off, have you had a look at our notability policy? In many cases, a person might not be a public figure in the traditional sense, but may have been featured in reliable sources that would indicate some measure of notability. The authorization of the subject, his employers, or anyone else is neither required nor material to that notability. On Wikipedia, notability and those sources are usually sufficient to justify an article. Note also that the subject also has no obligation to update or maintain the article - but we welcome them to point out inaccuracies.

Second, I see from your username that you seem to be an employee of DoubleLine - if that's the case, you'll want to have a look at our Conflict of Interest policy. If this is an account for the company, rather than for you personally, then that's another issue entirely under our Username policy.

I can complete the AFD nomination as you posted it, in the correct format, if you wish. But - having seen a number of AFDs over the years - I have to tell you that I would not be optimistic about its chances for success. There are sources, and there appears to be some notability. Consensus may say otherwise, of course, and I would not be participating if you choose to proceed. Your call. Please feel free to reply here or on my talk page.

I am indeed an employee of DoubleLine Capital LP - its Deputy General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. I have reviewed the items that you requested and request that you correct any errors in my posting .... web coding is a mild hobby, but not something I have done consistently for nearly a decade.

There are significant legal and regulatory reasons to remove this page. I understand the notability policy of Wikipedia, but would submit that anyone writing about someone must have a reason to do so. Mr. Gundlach potentially could reach the notable status that Wikipedia has established for itself, but that does not allow for incomplete or incorrect postings, nor should Mr. Gundlach or his company be responsible to correct what is out there. Frankly, if there are other sources for the information...why is Wikipedia useful to the user?

I have no intention of using this account for anything but this purpose or similar futures purposes if it arises. I trust that you can monitor my usage, which is purely designed to ensure that DoubleLine's personnel or its materials are not displayed on Wikipedia.

Thanks much for your assistance and your perspective. DoubleLineCCO (talk) 01:30, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
