Minor local real-estate developer, with local--at best--notability. It has the distinct sense of self-promotion. CalendarWatcher (talk) 14:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, there appears to be press in New York, Mexico, Vancouver, Chilliwack, and now there appears to be a US Federal Lawsuit before Judge Mahan in US District Court in Nevada involving fraud. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.19.190.72 (talk) 15:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Although well-sourced, I don't see that this gentleman is notable enough for his own article. I agree that this seems to be self-promotion, based on the article history and the review of other contributions from the editors. Mandsford (talk) 15:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Here is an article that just came out last week on April 22nd, 2009 about Mr. Alexander hijacking a Company. Its actual takes 1/4 of the Canadian Newspaper's Business Section written by the notoreous David Baines  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elenamoran (talk • contribs) 19:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep read that latest Baines article on the hijacking last week and the US Lawsuit in Nevada. He really ripped him apart this time. hehe. I found the article quit amusing and that I could source it this way, wikipedia is pretty useful —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.114.237.19 (talk) 20:18, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep google search for graham g alexander brings up one full page including Forbes, Business Week, and others, giving notability Elenamoran (talk) 19:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * See this page. And what constitutes 'a full page', anyways? That number appears to be 55. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 00:05, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * in your entry above, you put Graham G. Alexander not Graham G Alexander to arrive at that number? That number appears much higher? a USA News Today article yesterday about his US Federal Suit, is that not notable? how would that be local and minor? the wikipedia article is negative, talks about fraud, hijacking, is quit blunt and most importantly, informative. how is that self-promotion? you have me quite confused atm. Check my history. I have commented/edited on other wikipedia articles not just this one, such as Jeffery Skilling of Enron, which I believe where this man is headed; im certainly no fan of his nor Mr. Alexander, thank you--Elenamoran (talk) 07:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC) — Elenamoran (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep and expand. After reading all the newspaper articles from Vancouver Sun David Baines and the US Commercial Real Estate News Article, I think there will be plenty of more notability to come. Well sourced, the article writes about both the good and the bad of this gentleman.  Shiekron (talk) 22:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I think there will be a lot more to come from alexander, I propose we wait and see what happens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.168.55 (talk) 20:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I think that if he wants to share this with the world, then we will be better off for it. Although I do not know why he would want to. ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.182.116 (talk) 20:41, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment Additional participation from some experienced editors would be helpful here. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep The article is well-referenced with reliable (even well-known) sources, many of which are in-depth coverage of Mr. Alexander so he is evidently notable and the information verifiable. Drawn Some (talk) 00:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only reliable resources seem to be from Vancouver Sun, and even those appear to be little more than op-ed pieces from Mr. Baines, in that they read kind of like blog entries.  Certainly not promotional, given the nature of it that implies that he is likely not to be trusted.  Quite the opposite - it seems vaguely attack flavored. In any event the only thing I could find on him were duplicate entries about him - basic business profiles as published in places like Forbes.  There needs to be more about this guy before we can consider him for WP.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 01:43, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom. Notability is lacking. Also it looks suspiciously like some sockpuppetry and vote-stuffing in this discussion.Capitalismojo (talk) 05:09, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Meatpuppetry at the least. The problem is that the IP addresses all go to different places, so I'm not sure of socking. MuZemike 05:11, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete essentially agree with Dennis The Tiger. nothing in the text makes me believe his is any more notable that the common garden burglar, whose reports/stories you read about in the local paper. I am slightly surprised that this entry has manages to stay 'undiscovered' for over a year. Much of the article about his career, especially the development history is pretty much a coatrack, and is not of encyclopaedic worth. Ohconfucius (talk) 05:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, then WP:SALT, then fix the sock drawer. JBsupreme (talk) 07:11, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt per above, absolutely no RS coverage. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 22:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - not recommending salt, this article has not been deleted before. What say we cross the bridge if we come to it? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 13:26, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
