Elon Bomani

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is a complete Autobiography and breaches the Neutral point of view, No original research and Notability policies in Biographies of living persons. Hekerui (talk) 19:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC) 
 * Weak keep--nominator is quite right on most counts, but this search has a couple of hits from the Sacramento Bee and Observer; coupled with the article from JET referenced in the article it might just squeak by. Of course, the spam needs cutting. Drmies (talk) 20:33, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I looked at the coverage, and I agree with Drmies -- this squeaks by. That said, all the other issues have force. Ray  Talk 06:13, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - I just did a bit of cleanup on this article, and it does has a number of claims that hint at notability, but it needs a lot of work... as far as the provided links go, the Blacknews.com link is a self released press release (read: advertisement), the JET article makes her out to be more of a landlord than anything, and the Essence link provides only a teaser about 4 different women... there are no references provided for anything other than she has authored 2 books, is a landlord with a million dollars worth of property, and is "creator of Bomani's Village Enterprises"... no references for childhood or education, and no concrete proof of notability... being the CEO of a company does not automatically allow someone to pass WP:N, and as an author, I'm not 100% sure she passes WP:CREATIVE either... She claims to have written a handful of books, but there is no mention of how successful those books were, nor how successful her company was... the WP:AUTO concerns bother me also... unless references are added to prove why she passes the notability concerns, I'm leaning towards delete for now... - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - as nominator. Hekerui (talk) 14:32, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm concerned about the extravagant claims and obvious errors - there is no Westchester University, but she may have attended West Chester University, but then again that is not clear.  It reads like a resume, not an article.  I'd need a lot of convincing to change my mind about this one. Bearian (talk) 15:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)  There are lots of hits on Google and Yahoo, but nothing in Google News.  Is she famous in the African American community and in Sacramento, but not in the wider world?  Is she bad at getting news copy? Bearian (talk) 15:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
