Campion Platt

Does not appear to meet GNG. Article is poorly referenced with mostly primary sources and/or dead links. Searching does turn up some coverage, such as short interviews. Nothing I would really consider in-depth and independent. MB 05:24, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete The sources here do not establish notability. I looked into the article on his wife, which has existed for over 10 years and is still considered to have inadequate sources for a biography of a living person, and nominated it for deletion. There is more information I found on Platt, but not much to establish notability. This name checks him, but in the one paragraph where he and his wife are mentioned, only says anything really about his wife, and I don't think that is even indepth enough to show he is notable, it is even less for him. I found a Dan's Papers article on their house, but Dan's Papers is hardly a reliable source, it has perpetuated hoaxes at times. I doubt this is a hoax, but it is hard to accept papers that through a combination of shoddy editing and deliberate misleading perpetuate hoaxes as reliable. Then there were a few articles mentioning him 2 years ago in connection with an alleged crime on the roof of his penthouse by a friend of his then 19-year-old son. Those are excluded somewhere between Wikipedia:Notnews and Wikipedia:Nottabloid.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:09, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
