Bio of non-notable Hollywood suit. Only one ever remotely solid source; long history of COI edits. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:05, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I didn't spot the problems with article until I actually looked through the history, including the problems with WP:COI and WP:AUTO, and actually examined the one source supplied, which basically is a PR story about a business he was working on, not him.  I found it completely unremarkable and insufficient to establish notability within his profession.  Notability is not inherited; the fact that the subject's father is quite notable is not helpful.  From the opening paragraph at WP:N, "if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article."  I don't think we have them.

 * Independent reliable third-party sources have been found and used to cleanup and better source the article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:12, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * To Whom It May Concern: my name is Lucas Belkind and I am the author of this article on David Katz. While I am new to Wikipedia editing, I am not new to writing and I feel that this article has always remained neutral and served only as a biography. As for my long history of "COI edits," the only edits involved regarding the material written was to ensure that all of the information presented was correct and in chronological order (as the guidelines state they should be). In regards to reliable third-party sources, I will begin looking for electronic links to the various articles that have been written on Katz himself establishing his credibility in his field. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to hearing your further comments. Lucas Belkind —Preceding undated comment added 16:19, 17 August 2011 (UTC).
 * The article author's having any relationship with Katz beyond having authored the image used in the article, is unclear. As searches for the two names in conjunction find nothing except this conversation, We might extend good faith and accept his explanation at face value. So to Lucas Belkind, I have suggested on his talk page that he read WP:PRIMER to better understand our needs inre format, style, verifiability, sourcing, and notability.

 * Keep? A quick review appears to indicate wp:notability.   The question mark is to defer to those who have reviewed this in more depth. North8000 (talk) 12:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
