Dan Ackman

Article was started as an obvious self-aggrandizing autobiography and has languished in a poor state for nearly fifteen years. I think it is arguable that the lawsuit involving cabbies in NYC is itself notable, as most of the coverage is about the suit, not Mr. Ackman himself. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:33, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment Could be a brief subsection in an article about NYC taxis, the only coverage I can find is about the larger crackdowns on taxis. Ackman himself doesn't seem notable. Leaning delete unless better sources are found. Oaktree b (talk) 20:30, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the lawsuit itself has lasting notability it can be handled in a separate article, but this biography should go. Kablammo (talk) 12:07, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The lawsuit is possibly notable, although I'm not super convinced of that. Even if Ackman met WP:GNG, this article probably would need to be WP:TNTed and re-written from scratch given how promotional it is. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:26, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - News reports relating to individual lawsuits bring up the name of the attorney, but I am not seeing sourcing dealing substantially with the subject himself. I'm neither here nor there on the question of writing about oneself, so long as the sourcing passes muster. In my opinion, that standard is not met here. Carrite (talk) 03:05, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
