Dale Graham (CEO)

Notability, appears to fail WP:GNG. Was unable to find reliable, independent sources that provide non-trivial coverage of the subject. The looks verifiable (WP:V) in part (e.g., the company's web site is likely reliable enough to tell us the name of its CEO), but those sources do not address notability. Attempted sourcing via Gweb, Gnews, Gbooks. No WP coverage of the company, either, or I'd suggest "merge to". j &#9883; e decker talk  15:21, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per WP:BLP. This article represents that Graham "claims" various achievements in his career (such as holding specified positions with specified companies), but it doesn't provide any source to show that, in fact, he does claim to have done those things. Furthermore, Graham may well have worked for those companies in those jobs, in which case saying that he "claims" to have held those jobs creates a misleading impression that the editors of Wikipedia think he is lying. If we can't source his biographical information, it would be best to delete the article rather than imply doubt about the subject's resume. The article can be re-created at a later date if the subject is later believed to be notable and his biographical information can be verified through reliable sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no evidence in the article and, more importantly, in any secondary sources I can find that either Graham or his company meet the notability requirements of WP.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 15:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete there is no non-trivial coverage available to establish notability. --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 18:15, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced, and even if every claim made in the article is true, they still don't add up to notability. --MelanieN (talk) 16:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
