Bugsy Sailor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Vanity page for a professional stone skipper. Announcing that you are "Official Unofficial" Ambassador of Michigan's Upper Peninsula does not make it so. Attention seeking is not notability. Probably should have A7'd it but there may be some claim of significance or importance in the article, however minimally credible. Mduvekot (talk) 12:43, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete the article is a puffery-filled personal bio. No case for notability.  Power~enwiki (talk) 00:08, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment. In fairness, there are a few legitimate sources buried in the pile of self-promotion that characterizes the current state of this article, especially "U.P. native urges all to enjoy the ‘906’", Lansing State Journal, Aug. 25, 2015.  Another more recent piece (also originating from the Lansing State Journal) calls him "one of the Upper Peninsula’s most tireless promoters"    Although these can be used to make a case that he's some sort of U.P. culture celeb, as it stands I don't think it's enough to meet GNG. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:02, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:PROMO with a good dose of WP:TNT: a tribute page on a nn individual likely written by someone with a close connection to the subject. Heaps and heaps of puffery and trivia. No notability or significance outside of the local community, which is reflected in the sources available. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:12, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
