James Jordan (publicist)

Completely unsourced BLP. Google books and Google News archives only reveal brief mentions and others with the same name. CorporateM (Talk) 23:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Actually a Google search of "james jordan" and "advertising" turns up quite a bit, including an unusually detailed New York Times obit and an obit in the LA Times. So I think he does pass the threshold for notability, based on those two obits and other references to him, including a Brittanica entry and a substantial reference to him in a book on advertising.

 * Comment, CorporateM, um, this isn't a BLP. He died over ten years ago. -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 01:06, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn This source from the New York Times contains a clear claim to notability: "widely considered one of the premier sloganeers of Madison Avenue". Thanks to user:Coretheapple. Looks like I should have also done a regular old Google search first. Since he is deceased, BLP does not call for deletion as unsourced. CorporateM (Talk) 01:13, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
