Speedy deletion nomination of Carol Coombes


A tag has been placed on Carol Coombes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Help
I've read the section about being a notable person and thought that by receiving an OBE that met the criteria.

Is it the mention of her company that seems to be the problem? Thanks Wamith7 (talk) 19:06, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem isn't necessarily notability, it's the promotional nature of the article - it serves as a fluff piece for Coombs and is not neutral. Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  19:13, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I concur. But to answer the original question, an OBE doesn't really suffice to establish notability. With up to 858 OBEs appointed every year, that's not much of a distinction. And your source for the OBE, the re-published honors list, doesn't say anything about hers being "held to be the first OBE in history to cite services to leadership". Coming back to Chrissymad's point, for a "a globally recognised figure in strengths-based Leadership Talent-Spotting and Development" I would expect Wikipedia content that summarizes what international media - The New York Times, Time Magazine, Le Monde, Neue Züricher Zeitung, Asahi Shinbun, ... - report about her. Instead we get the honors list and a press release by her alma mater, plus lots of content that isn't based on any identifiable references whatsoever. Huon (talk) 21:29, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
