David Brennan (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Businessman and director of charitable organizations whose notability has not been established with reliable sources, per WP:RS. Long term efforts to remove maintenance templates; time for an assessment. JNW (talk) 12:24, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see an assertion of notability, but as we're having this discussion a formal delete is probably best outcome. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:46, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 *  Keep Delete  per WP:GNG. A fair few hits via the GNews link above for the wrong David Brennan(!), some being paywalled and unfortunately my Highbeam account has recently expired. However, there are a few generally available hits, e.g.  The subject also seems to have had a number of pieces published in the Washington Post. -- Trevj (talk) 11:19, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: per WP:BITE, this good faith comment should be taken seriously. Were sources sought out? -- Trevj (talk) 11:24, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think you are talking about the same person. The David Brennan you are talking about is the CEO of AstraZeneca. He is certainly notable and appears to be from Philadelphia. This David Brennan is Australian. Have you any sources covering him? Candleabracadabra (talk) 13:52, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Perhaps I was rather hasty. I'll have a better look. -- Trevj (talk) 18:27, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Not a good faith comment, it's a lie. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:20, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Apologies - I guess that's exactly the kind of correction which is what AfD is for! If I'd known there were so many Brennans, I'd have taken more care. Anyway, I now agree that this should be deleted... in fact it might as well be closed early as delete, if an admin feels like it! -- Trevj (talk) 00:54, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. This David Brennan lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Socks edit warring also suggests a lack of notability. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:18, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
