 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. It's unfortunate that this debate suffered from only a low level of participation, hence no prejudice against relisting this after another few months, if improvement is not forthcoming. Randykitty (talk) 20:33, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

This article does not meet the guidelines for WP:N; specifically WP:ORGCRITE. There is no significant coverage in any of the listed sources, and searching for additional independent sources yields no significant mentions. SiliconRed (talk) 19:49, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment WP:ORGCRITE does not apply to people. Bakazaka (talk) 20:51, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks Bakazaka—I misreferenced the guidelines. Still, there are no sources with significant coverage of Cottrill and I stand by nomination under the guidelines of WP:N. SiliconRed (talk) 21:55, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep I think the subject of this article does meet WP:BASIC. Some of the dotpointed references do have significant coverage of him (they should be used in inline citations), and there are other articles, eg 'In Move To MullenLowe, Geoff Cottrill Demonstrates The Value An Ex-CMO Can Bring To An Agency' - I am aware that Forbes is not always considered reliable or independent, but this is an article written by a Forbes staff member, not by the subject of the article or his firm. There are other sources too. I don't think this Wikipedia article makes clear how the subject is notable - eg the Forbes article linked above begins "Few CMOs are known for being as bold, imaginative, effective and personally invested in the brand they represent as Geoff Cottrill."

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   10:50, 14 December 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Given the last comment, it would probably make sense to relist this once more
 * Delete - This article seems to be by a conflict-of-interest, single purpose creator. There is nothing in the article and its present sources to make me think it meets WP:NBIO. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:00, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
