David McCue

Vanity page, not notable for BLP with a passing mention and subject's own company website failing to pass GNG. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Promotional and the one third-party source doesn't provide much and some of the sentences in the book read like an advertisement. I found a profile at inc.com here confirming they ranked once but the book claims they ranked twice. Google News found little evidence when I searched "David McCue" but a search for "McCue Corp" provided relevant links (they require payment but two if not all three appear to be press releases). However, the second page provided more relevant evidence for the company, a New York Daily News article (though it would be insufficient), an award here and this which actually mentions David McCue himself. An attempt to find additional evidence about the Inc. ranking was fruitless. If there was an article for the company, I would have suggested redirecting.

 * Delete -- I would have expected us to have an article on McCue Corporation if it was notable. Since we do not, I have to assume that its founder is also NN.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:45, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - bogus article, fails notability guidelines, references consist of self-published website, article contents autobiography but yet fails to successfully assert notability of individual even based on own sources, no other sources exist. Bogus. JoshuSasori (talk) 13:32, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
