Edward De Valle

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Biography of a businessman who does not meet the general notability guideline; the only actual claim to notability is the Top Entrepreneur of 2012 award from Hispanic Target Magazine, and I cannot find that that's a significant award per WP:ANYBIO. The article is one of a number of articles about non-notable people created by a group of sockpuppets, see Sockpuppet investigations/EricKamlus. This article has been speedy deleted a couple of times, as Edward De Valle II, but there's just sufficient claim of importance that I suspect an A7 nomination would be declined. bonadea contributions talk 14:38, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - Subject is covered in reliable sources but not extensively, mostly just passing mention. Meatsgains (talk) 15:55, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete -- non notable business accomplishments, and some are not even about the subject: "De Valle's company, 3A/Worldwide, was on the Inc 500 list for 2014[2] and the 2014 INC. 5000 list of fastest growing companies.[3]" Promotional content and weak claims of notability. Nothing substantial to sustain an article. One of the sources that comes up is a press release the subject issued about himself:
 * "Media Mogul Edward de Valle II Spotted at Trump Punta Del Este Launch Party at Trump Hollywood" (with picture of himself included). Enging with: "Visit www.edwarddevalle.com and www.amgwagency.com for more information".


 * Comment: From Sockpuppet investigations/EricKamlus/Archive: "User Jarlmoe has created a few different BLPs, including Edward De Valle which is currently tagged as BLPPROD; an earlier version of the page, Edward De Valle II, was deleted a few times." Promotional only use is a reasonable conclusion. So perhaps a speedy delete? K.e.coffman (talk) 23:17, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
