The result was   delete. Article has been moved to Draft space. In view of COI issues, I will salt the title and advise the article author to submit the draft for independent review if he wants to return it to the mainspace. JohnCD (talk) 19:12, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Setting aside the obvious advertising problems, this article fails to establish notability. The few WP:SECONDARY sources that are actually about La appear to be passing mentions, or local news blurbs. Article's creator obviously has a WP:COI, as well. Grayfell (talk) 01:17, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I apologize, I tried to create the page as close to current accepted pages on Wikipedia like Bryan Johnson of Braintree, with as much general biographical information and citations to any source that discussed the page's details more or demonstrated the details asserted are true. Is this not how the process works? I want to make this page be valid and acceptable, I would welcome advice please! Thank you for your help! No Funny Money (talk) 01:22, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I have answered some of your questions on the article's talk page. Bryan Johnson (entrepreneur) has been discussed in some depth multiple times in major publications such as The Wall Street Journal ,USA Today, Forbes, Techncrunch, etc. If La has a similar depth of coverage, that should be included. Regardless, WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a reliable argument in deletion discussions, and it's best to focus on policy instead of precedent. The current sources for this article are too flimsy, and (again, setting aside the promotional problems) appeared to be padding out the article to make him appear more notable than he actually is.

 * Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources needed to establish notability. Sources offered are either not reliable or simply fail to mention the subject at all.  Though not by itself a reason to delete, I note in addition that the article appears to be an WP:Autobiography.  Msnicki (talk) 01:39, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I understand, and I'm sorry it's not to snuff! Would it be possible for me to please place the article back in my user space so I can work on it and add more sources if and when they become available and later re-introduce back to Wikipedia? No Funny Money (talk) 16:20, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * delete Not notable. aborting the discussion now and moving the article is a form of WP:GAME. Not good. After this version is deleted, you can request it to be copied in to draft space again, but I highly suggest using Articles for creation since you have an obvious conflict of interest, and not a clear understanding of the requirements for the article.
