Allen Meadors

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Grossly promotional article largely written by an account whose name matches that of the subject.

Update: We now have confirmation that the subject paid for this entry to be written. Guy (Help!) 13:53, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Paid editing is perfectly acceptable provided that the user follows the guidelines (which one of them has). Primefac (talk) 15:46, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Disagree with JzG, Do not see how this article is "grossly promotional". Appears to be historically based upon subjects professional background. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pointer22 (talk • contribs) 13:46, 13 November 2016 (UTC) — Pointer22 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep as although a few of the links may be unacceptable, I removed the PROD because being the head of three major universities is enough for WP:PROF, and that alone is sufficient. SwisterTwister   talk  04:14, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Grossly promotional to be sure, but Meadors is clearly notable under WP:PROF (for now, at least). Joe Roe (talk) 13:18, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm in the process of (essentially) blowing it up. I wish I could just delete the entire thing and let the creator try again... Primefac (talk) 19:48, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - passes WP:PROF. The article is certainly promotional, but it's nothing that cannot be fixed.  Ya  sh  !   07:06, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
