Barry M. George

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Autobiographical BLP that was speedy deleted twice as G11, author recreated. I nominated a 3rd time for speedy as G11, author removed db tag. Subject is not notable and article reads like a résumé. KuyaBriBri Talk 21:07, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Note: As I was posting this nomination, user Eeg1959 (likely a sock of Barry M. George) posted the following text on this AfD discussion: "I was happy to finally find Barry listed in Wikipedia. He was an excellent co-worker and contineus to be a friend to this day. Please keep this page alive." KuyaBriBri Talk 21:07, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Totally non-notable for me. (Tagged db-bio.) Also promotional of a religious viewpoint. (Tagged for spam as well - not by me.) Peridon (talk) 21:13, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * May I suggest salt as well? Peridon (talk) 21:15, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

*I have requested create protection for this article at WP:RFP. KuyaBriBri Talk 21:20, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * My request for salt was declined on the grounds that pages are not pre-emptively salted. I would like to request that the closing admin salt this article if the consensus of this AfD is delete. KuyaBriBri Talk 21:29, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - No opinion on notability, but article has no chance of becoming encyclopedic when author with COI keeps reverting changes/tags added by other editors. . . Rcawsey (talk) 21:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - Sure looks like blatant advertising to me. Some guy copy/pasted his own bio and resume. --L. Pistachio (talk) 21:38, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability through substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. Note that Business Wire is just a service for disseminating press releases, and thus useless for the purpose of establishing notability. All other coverage referenced in the article is incidental or trivial. Hqb (talk) 22:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like a pretty standard regional sales director. I don't see any evidence for the grand claims that the subject makes about himself.  I was willing to work with him on this article as I have some experience working with article subjects, but it doesn't look like the guy understands what we are trying to do here on Wikipedia. --Leivick (talk) 23:22, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as per everyone. Also Salt considering continued re-creations. Edward321 (talk) 03:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as per all the above. No notability is demonstrated by the article using reliable independent sources. --Ged UK (talk) 13:41, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt - for all the above-noted reasons of failed notability. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and Salt Not notable, and clear evidence of socking to try and fix an AFD by the subject of the article. Mayalld (talk) 19:24, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
