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

Article is a mix of biography and company profiles. Initially nominated for speedy as nn, speedy was declined. Another user has pointed out on its talk page how spammy the article is. Notability itself is questionable IMO, and alone may have been good enough reason to list for AfD, but the near complete advertisement tone of the article is what compels me to list it. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete There is a very possible conflict of interest with the article creator. Which is kinda funny, because one would think that an expert in reputation management would know that it does nothing for your reputation to spam Wikipedia with self-serving articles such as this, whilst ignoring policies and guidelines. Oh yeah, there is no real notability found in quick searches. --Russavia Dialogue 16:12, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - COI concerns aside, the problem here is that the person is not notable at all because he clearly fails WP:BIO to begin with. What we also have here is basically an unsourced BLP, which is a big no-no. Having said that, no prejudice against the author creating an article about the Zimiti Ltd. company, which I think would meet WP:CORP by virtue of the awards that board of theirs received and is information that is well-sourced. The other company though isn't exactly a keeper. §FreeRangeFrog 23:36, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as it appears the article was created as part of a campaign for a related concept of "Professional Reputation Management" (which campaign has been nipped in the bud, thankfully). WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:57, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
