Brunello Rosa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

First, the notability guidelines do not apply to content within an article. This article is a self-promotional page, please verify the content. eg. “In September 2017 he co-founded, with renowned economist Nouriel Roubini, Rosa&Roubini Associates, an independent consultancy firm, in which he serves as CEO and head of research“. There is a substantial difference between self-promotion and being a public figure. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information and cannot be used for self promoting professional activities. The article is just the personal page of the corporate website of the company Mr. Rosa runs. Please check https://rosa-roubini-associates.com/brunello-rosa. Second, the article is poorly sourced and it's self referential it doesn't provide a neutral point of view. Furthermore, the article claims that Mr Rosa is fellow at the systemic risk centre at LSE, but it is not possible to verify it http://www.lse.ac.uk/fmg/people. Mr Rosa can ask the universities - where he allegedly claims to work - to host his personal page and can always contributes to the development of wikipedia pages on economy. In conclusion, this page is a self-promotional biography based on self-promotional and self-published sources. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information and cannot be used for self promoting professional activities. I propose to delete the biography of this person is not encyclopedic and does not respect wikipedia standards. Can an uninvolved editor evaluate the article to make sure it is respecting wiki policy, fairly written and properly sourced? Ms4263nyu (talk) 08:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. I found this through the academics and educators deletion sorting list, but he appears not to be an academic economist, his scholarly publications in economics are minimal and largely uncited, and so WP:PROF seems out of the question and we are left with WP:GNG. It is difficult to discern from the sourcing of the article (where nothing is a footnote and everything is an external link) but most sources seem to be by him not about him, and the rest are spammy press-release journalism rather than in-depth stories about him written and published by others. Searching Google News for his name largely confirmed this picture. So I don't see a pass of WP:GNG, but maybe it is buried under the unsourced detail and bad sources of the existing article? Even if so, WP:TNT applies. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:18, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I see that the nominator has now been blocked for sockpuppetry. Nevertheless I think the AfD should continue in good faith. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:47, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. If there's notability, the article certainly doesn't make the case for it.  Blow it up.  Comment that the nominator seems to have been blocked for leaving a delete vote (now reverted) on this page while logged out.  Russ Woodroofe (talk) 00:29, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
