I have no opinion either way but another editor applied the tag and did not complete the nom so I'm just finishing it off. HJMitchell   You rang?   14:44, 1 December 2009 (UTC) I got tripped up in doing a AfD on an article that had been deleted before. Thanks for fixing. This is actually only the second nomination.

This article was previously deleted at Articles for deletion/Don West, Jr. in 2007. The article was recreated in 2008 by an SPA, User:SportsStar2999. A second SPA, User:Maxconquest, was the Keep vote in the first AfD, has edited this article, and also created Sean A. Pittman to cover West's law partner. The article reads like an advertisement and may be an autobiography. It lacks reliable third-party sources. There are thousands of sports agents, but they cannot inherit the notability of their clients. Racepacket (talk) 14:50, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Is there any way that we can combine this with Articles for deletion/Don West, Jr. (2nd nomination)? Racepacket (talk) 15:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. KuyaBriBri Talk 17:12, 1 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Most of the statements in the article are unreferenced and not verifiable, but even if we ignore that, and assume that the article is entirely accurate, it is hard to see how Don West, Jr. is notable. Occasional contact with several notable clients is not enough. Tim Ross   (talk)  21:48, 1 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sports agent of reasonable note, and we've already gone through an AFD process on this a few months back, as I recall. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 22:50, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment MiamiDolphins3 is correct, there was an AfD in 2007 and the result was Delete. The article was deleted, and then recreated by an SPA who has been adding most of the content.  Tracing the users lead to similar COI concerns about two other articles on people who practiced law with Don West, Jr. -- Sean A. Pittman and William David Cornwell.  See COIN for details.

 * Delete Does not appear to meet criteria in WP:BIO Deli nk (talk) 14:59, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – None of the sources meet the criteria for BLP notability, and I can't find any significant coverage with a quick search. Rees11 (talk) 23:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:BIO, notability not established ukexpat (talk) 21:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
