Brad Stephenson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

CEO and founder of a web company. Article is more about the company than Stephenson. Refs either source the company or are reliable (linkedIn, Who's Who, Google +). Able to find alot of social media sites about him, but no reliable refs. His name is common. Bgwhite (talk) 00:59, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete at best as this is another classic example of a seemingly amply sourced article when there are actually no solid signs of the applicable notability. I also suggest Redirecting to Datebook after deleting as this may still be applicable. SwisterTwister   talk  08:10, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Please address the last comment by Alex--Ymblanter (talk) 08:52, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - no indication of notability. No objection to redirecting per Gene93k either. Rlendog (talk) 17:05, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability.. page seems to be self promotion. Also, the Datebook page itself has been redirected so redirecting this page is rather pointless. Spanneraol (talk) 19:38, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I hate the non-sense namedropping people do to try an establish notability. Who cares that he stayed with "Scott Kazmir, Evan Longoria, Justin Upton, BJ Upton, and David Price after the World Series (a group who has made close to a billion dollars combined)." It's not even relevant and I think a thorough cleanup of the page is necessary should it be kept. However, it appears he wrote this book and his exploits earned him some notoriety in 2012. There's this and this. Alex (talk) 02:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ymblanter (talk) 08:52, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The book is not notable and the sources listed by Alex dont seem to rise to the level of coverage needed for an article. Spanneraol (talk) 23:47, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
