This article is insanely promotional. An editor who has openly admited to a WP:COI (see here) has come along and filled the page with purly WP:PROMO language. Even without this language I do not see any indication of WP:GNG. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:25, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

I am still in the process of editing and welcome advice/assistance from anyone. This is the first page that I have edited and it is proving to be a real learning experience. Thanks Zackmann08 - I will keep working on it based on your feedback. GeorgeLiddell (talk) 23:07, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Comment - This person has recently broke out in the news with being one of Donald Trumps assistants. I have added these sources, however it will need to be fixed up and updated. --TheDomain (talk) 19:42, 17 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Former vice-chairman of GM; former CFO of GM, Microsoft and International Paper and current CFO of William Morris Endeavor, which I believe is the world's largest talent agency (if not, it's way up there); adviser to incoming US President, all of which is being reported by reliable sources. Clearly notable. That being said, it does need to be drastically cleaned up, and User:GeorgeLiddell obviously has an insurmountable WP:COI and should step away from the article, following the guideline "COI editors are generally advised not to edit affected articles directly, and to propose changes on talk pages instead."

 * Delete Notability has not been established. I am happy to be shown otherwise.  by  c o d y  04:43, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

TJRC I acknowledge that I have a WP:COI, I will no longer make edits to this page. GeorgeLiddell (talk) 01:04, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, and speedy close, given that he's been appointed to lead Trump's strategic development group, per User:TheDomain and User:TJRC. Unquestionably notable. This is no reflection on the nominator, as this happened after the nomination for deletion.- gadfium 08:04, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Subject is now clearly notable as a White House assistant. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:49, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - He has been covered in the news media for over 15 years, at least in the New Zealand news media. He has honours (CNZM) and has long had a high profile in NZ. His notability is not going to decrease with his appointment by Trump to a White House role. Nurg (talk) 08:08, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and possible early close? - Clearly notable as a White House assistant. Also, promotional articles require cleanup not deletion if the subject(s) of the article are notable.  J 947  19:17, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
