Bob Bell (inventor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Politician and businessman whose article makes no substantive or well-sourced claim of encyclopedic notability. His notability as a politician boils down to a city council seat, in a city not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors, and a withdrawn candidacy in a federal election; his notability as a businessman is exclusively local, and is sourced disproportionately to a database of patent applications rather than to very much in the way of actual reliable source coverage that properly demonstrates the notability of any of his patents. In addition, there's a probable WP:COI here, as the article was created by User:Guelphgreen. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 20:38, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
