Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heini Zachariassen


 * 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 Delete. There is clear consensus that this person is not notable enough for a standalone article, and the removal of most of the content on copyright/spam grounds argues against a merge.  Hut 8.5  21:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Heini Zachariassen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Biography of a software developer. Article is mostly a duplication of content that is already published in the article of a company he co-founded, Vivino. Subject is not notable as an individual, coverage is about the business, not the person. Tried to redirect, was reverted. Mduvekot (talk) 16:29, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge The Forbes, CNN Money and Business Insider are all great citations, but not enough to give Heini Zachariassen personally notoriety. Has he done anything outside the Vivno business that would make him notable? Also as mentioned above the whole history section of the page is copy/paste from the Forbes article. I suggest there be a paragraph only on the Vivno Wikipedia page until such time as Zachariassen can pass notoriety on his own.Sgerbic (talk) 19:50, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 01:11, 4 September 2017 (UTC) While I don't challenge the quality of the entry, Zachariassen notoriety goes beyond Vivino as he's regarded as one of Faroe Islands and Denmarks most known entrepreneurs, now living in San Fransisco. One source would be https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/280083 83.248.89.10 (talk) 21:24, 7 September 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge or redirect to Vivino. No coverage or apparent notability apart from articles covering the company he founded. The entrepreneur.com article mentioned above appears to draw mainly from Zachariassen's Vivino experience.Dialectric (talk) 12:40, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm fine with merge. I didn't think it was necessary to retain this article, since practically all the information in the source is already present in the target, but a merge accomplishes the same thing as delete and redirect, but with the added benefit of preserving the edit history. Can someone please close this? I suspect it would be inappropriate for me to do so. Mduvekot (talk) 15:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- not independently notable of Vivino; I'm generally not in favour of redirecting nn BLPs to a company, as the subject and the company might part ways in the future. The article is full of puffery about the subject's vision, etc. Created by a single purpose account Special:Contributions/Creative2world, that also recreated a highly promotional article Jared Sawyer Jr. The MO is highly suggestive of promo editing, which is on full display in the article on Zachariassen. The redirect had already been attempted, but was reverted by the article's creator, since my vote for deletion. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:30, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a good point. I was perhaps too eager to compromise, given the low number of participants in this discussion. Mduvekot (talk) 19:51, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Also "Delete" on copyvio grounds; a good chunk of the article is copy/pasted from Forbes/sites; pls see: Copyvio report. BTW, Forbes/sites is user submitted content (essentially a blog, with no editorial oversight), so it does not count towards notability. So, "delete" all around. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:58, 18 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete I've removed the copyvio, and also removed a lot of the spam. Once those two are gone, there is nothing worth merging. Also, I'll note that this article was likely created in violation of the terms of use: see edit filter 867, which the article creator has triggered on four separate articles. That filter is designed to catch likely commissioned works that are created perfectly in one edit by new users. Deletion as promotion per WP:NOTSPAM are justified on those grounds.
