Unsourced article on non-notable brother of a famous journalist. Since notability is not contagious, the subject doesn't qualify in his own right. Subject is cited in the article as founding a company, but that company's own extensive article doesn't mention him at all. Prod removed with the edit summary "notable" and no other commentary.

 * Comment - It's worth noting that the article, in its previous state, had more content, but it was deleted since it was deemed promotional and non-notable. The article was initially created by the subject's (or the subject's organization's) publicists. Mosmof (talk) 15:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - He's a co-founder of a major PR agency and frequently pops up in bios as a "public relations legend", but searching on Google and Factiva, I couldn't find anything specifically about him that wasn't written by a publicist. While he may be a very, very important person in the industry, he seems to fail WP:N. Mosmof (talk) 21:26, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * He doesn't seem important enough in the industry to garner reliable sources, at the least.   RGTraynor  04:13, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
