Allen Marshall

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I am unable to separate the fact from the fiction in this, and notability gets lost in between. The whole damn thing pay be a hoax (see my one edit to the page to remove utter nonsense). There are several references on the page, maybe they are all nonsense too. This just seems to be a big horrendous joke. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 17:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: There are inconsistencies in this article. Ref 1 says he grew up in Bedford, MA, but ref 4 (which supports the 600 projects claim) refers to a (presumably) different Allen Marshall who grew up in South Carolina and attended Clemson Uni. The last external reference, "We Are Marshall", has nothing to do with either man.  The facetious tone, lack of obvious notability, and suspicion of advertising his new consultancy firm, all incline me to vote Delete.--Jimmy Pitt (talk) 18:16, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Edited the page to address these concerns. It appears the Clemson Marshall was the wrong Marshall, so this link was removed.  I disagree there is any advertising here.  The gentleman's current firm is not referenced.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billybobma (talk • contribs) 18:20, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - The only references are unreliable sources such as linkedin, or they aren't indepent. I can find no sources indicating he is "a noted transportation and information technology consultant, fly fisherman, and home improvement expert". -- Whpq (talk) 17:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
