Dan Shea (journalist)

Struggling to find reliable sources that have any significant coverage on the subject, rather than just passing mentions. Appears to fail WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 10:48, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Strong Delete - this article should have never been approved for creation. The editor / creator is an affiliate and close personal friend of the subject and his business: Dan Shea history; and has displayed a heavy COI with their editing / monitoring of the page which borders on promotional advertising for the subject not complying with NPOV. Once brought to the editor's attention, the editor in question quickly back-tracked and made it known they were affiliated with 6 other subjects and articles in the Louisiana area covered by Wikipedia. Not only should this article be deleted, but the other articles this editor has either created or edits / monitors should be called into question. This missed speedy deletion the first time; and an AfD due to consensus. Don't let it happen again! Maineartists (talk) 11:52, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are plenty of impressive sources in the article, but none of them are about the subject or cover him in any detail at all. I looked for sources covering the subject and found nothing but mentions, "the new owner is Dan Shea" and "this business decision was made by Dan Shea" and the like. BLPs require high-quality, non-trivial sources about the subject and those simply don't appear to exist. Woodroar (talk) 15:07, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete essentially per Woodroar. It's hard to find much of substance about this person. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 17:37, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. The Columbian Journalism Librarian (talk) 21:24, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
