Chris Crawford (Management Consultant)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Came up on New Pages patrol. Article cites two articles where Mr. Crawford is quoted in brief about issues for economics; on the other hand, none of the references given even mention his first or last name. Not a hoax, clearly, as this shows he exists, but it does not demonstrate notability.  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 22:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Note - article author presently blocked 48 hours 24 hours for repeatedly removing the AfD template, but the block expires in plenty of time for him to contribute. I have given some advice on his talk page about notability and how to contribute here. JohnCD (talk) 19:18, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - does not appear to meet WP:Notability (people). None of the listed references even mentions him. It is a common name, which makes searching difficult, but I have only been able to find places where comments from him are quoted, none of the "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" required. I suspect COI here, as this author has only written about this company and its people: the company and its founder may be notable, but it does not follow that its other people are.

 * Delete per JohnCD. -- Nuujinn (talk) 01:02, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Even the minimal claims of notability in the article are not substantiated. For example, the article claims that the subject "has published books with WorldatWork", but the only title cited in the Bibliography is not by him, but by two other people . But even if everything in the article is true and verified, he is still not notable per Wikipedia standards. --MelanieN (talk) 20:05, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
