Gregory Gumo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unambiguously promotional article about a insufficiently notable person, apparently a club or fashion entrepreneur. Unambiguous promotion: Offered references are to an interview on a blog, and in an incidental mention as the host of a "star studded event" on another bloglike news site. I am not finding anything better. Article is full of biographical detail that cannot be referenced to the offered sources, which raises both conflict of interest and living person biography issues.

 * delete - also check out photo uploaded under user:Jgatien - whilst user could be a sockpuppet of Gumo, in fact it is gumo himself, noted by ip recording in singapore from node at marina bay sands (his workplace). Nothing notable about this figure.  Poses as "Jan Gatien" when person knows nothing about such activity. does it qualify as a speedy G4 and salt? Avatera (talk) 15:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The article creator offered no reliable and independent sources with significant coverage to satisfy WP:BIO. Presumably the nominator checked for and failed to find same. I found some Facebook/Linkedin/blog-type coverage, but nothing independent and reliable about the subject at Google, nothing at Google news archive, and but one book with a page or so about the involvement of a "Greg Gumo," if it is the same person, in an alleged shoplifting incident by a supermodel at Google Books: . Not sufficient to establish notability. Edison (talk) 15:44, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Vanity article to promote a non-notable person. Ridiculous form of advertising/promotion. Unencyclopedic article. Keb25 (talk) 17:04, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
