Charles Elvin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This looks to be another article created in order to promote people who have published through Kogan Page. I found one source for a book he wrote, but other than that there just isn't anything out there. He's quoted somewhat frequently in relation to his position with Institute of Leadership and Management, but there really doesn't seem to be anything out there that's actually about Elvin. Being a reliable source isn't an automatic guarantee of notability. Of the sources in the article, none appear to be usable to show notability and the bulk are primary in one form or another.

 * Delete: All sources are either primary, unreliable, or only briefly mention Elvin. The only source that's useful to the article at all is #6, but it only mentions him in the context of his company. Not notable enough for his own article, but worth a sentence or two on Institute of Leadership and Management. ~ RobTalk 06:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I have to say that the main page for the organization needs some cleaning for promotional tones as well. I thought about merging and redirecting, but I'm unsure if chief executive would really be something that would merit a mention in the main article since I'm not sure if it's the highest position or not. The term makes it seem like it is, but I'll admit that there are so many terms out there that there always seems to be a new term that's being bandied about.

 * Chief executive refers to Chief executive officer (i.e. CEO), which is almost always the highest position. ~ RobTalk 07:41, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Gotcha- I kind of figured that might be it, but I didn't know if taking the "officer" part off changed the position. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:51, 23 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. Usual reasons for these Kogan Page authors:  Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG.  Msnicki (talk) 08:01, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
