James Brennan

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

Seems like a non-notable DC area attorney/businessman. Article amounts to a vanity piece. Many assertions exaggerate on what is actually stated in the cited sources.

I also nominate for deletion the Jonathan Hipp article (Brennan's colleague created by the same editor) as his notability seems to be limited to that he is quoted several times in reliable sources about net lease transactions. I looked up the cited articles and they do not support the assertions in the articles nor do they establish he is notable. His company, Calkain Companies, Inc. seems to be notable though.

What is an example of a cited article that is not supported by it's assertion in the Jonathan Hipp page? Additionally, this article offers incite to someone interested in net lease transactions.
 * For example, you had written "At Grubb & Ellis he created a platform for Grubb & Ellis to have a dominant presence on the East Coast for Net Lease brokerage as responsible for creating a platform for Grubb & Ellis to have a dominant presence on the East Coast for Net Lease brokerage." and supported it with this citation, "Fitzgerald, Therese. "Net Lease Broker Hipp Opens Own Shop." Commercial Property News 26 Jan. 2005. Print." Well, I looked the article up on the internet and it doesn't directly support your assertion. It makes me think you deliberately did not link to the article so that people can not verify the information for themselves. Morbidthoughts (talk) 17:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

The article gives a history of Jonathan Hipp and his previous jobs as a net lease broker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WeTheEconomy (talk • contribs) 17:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as WP:VSCA. Subject fails WP:N and article's tone is not all encyclopaedic. Eddie.willers (talk) 01:23, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails notability and seems to be written by only one editor and an IP, probably the subject himself.  SPLETTE &#32;:]&#32;How's my driving? 20:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete James Brennan and Redirect Jonathan Hipp and Jonathan W. Hipp to Calkain Companies, Inc. per WP:BIO. (As an aside, I enjoyed reading how these two are linked: "Being an extrovert, James also has many friends[13][14] including his colleague: Jonathan Hipp[15].")
