The result was   delete. This and the other linked articles were created in good faith though with a COI, but Wikipedia is not for self-advertisement even of worthy persons or causes if they do not meet our notability requirement. JohnCD (talk) 12:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Claim to notability is having founded 3 non-notable organizations. Google news archive search provides 1 result, an entry in the student newspaper of his alma mater. The editor (User:Musicedbloggerman) who created this article has also made a walled garden, creating 2 other articles linking to this one, Philip E. Daniels and The Restoring Music Foundation, both of which are currently at AfD. Wine Guy  Talk  01:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - a handful of passing mentions doesn't really add up to notability. The hint of COI from the creator of the walled garden doesn't help either. -- B figura  (talk) 11:53, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am Chris Purifoy. Someone that works for one of the foundations I founded, The Restoring Music Foundation, created this article along with a few others about the foundation.  I believe the article about The Restoring Music Foundation was deleted, which is fine because it is fairly new to the public sector.  2010 should find sufficient notability for a listing in Wikipedia.  I would appreciate it if you kept this article (Chris Purifoy) alive however.  I may not be famous in the grand scheme of things, however my work in music education is unprecedented. We are really revolutionizing things in this important educational space.  I am also the chairman of a council of top tier industry professionals that are writing a restoration plan for the music industry crisis.  I would truly appreciate your consideration before deletion.  I may not meet your top notability standards, but in the music education industry I am very well known. Thanks for all you do on here.  No hard feelings either way.  --Cdpurifoy (talk) 05:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I made a notation to MusicEdBloggerMans puppet page (whatever that is), that further explains this; see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Musicedbloggerman. Should I have Joe (musicedbloggerman) make a notation to these articles as well?  He works for me and wasn't sure what to do.  I figured it'd be best to just explain the matter. best, --Cdpurifoy (talk) 06:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - there are no reliable sources in the article, or that I can find to verify any information in this biography of a living person. Zero News Ghits. Bearian (talk) 02:33, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
