Alex Smith (entrepreneur)
This account was not created merely for this deletion. Have been actively working on several drafts that are not submitted as of yet. Please look at the edits for the entry. They are all clearly from a user named abfw (a better fort) the charity that the individual in the article created himself. Mjohnsonbtc (talk) 06:40, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * A couple points to note with regards to your comments. I know the user abfw personally, of which his username is an acronym for his actual initials and he is a part of our group in northern Indiana called the Wiki-nons. This group meets quarterly in person and semi-monthly remotely to discuss and learn Wikipedia and contribute with a focus on Indiana "based" events, persons, companies etc. We are always providing each other with tricks and tips for improving our knowledge base and improve our contributions. Furthermore, I agree with,  and  that this is a bad faith nomination and to your comments about Drafts, this has to be false because there's a history of every edit that you have made. Previous to a couple edits this morning, your only edits were to nominate the article for deletion and to remove Alex Smith from the list of notable business people from Fort Wayne.
