This article is a biography of an American accountant. The article provides no assertion of notability and reads like a resume. I was unable to find reliable sources indicating the subject's notability. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 23:43, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly speedy. Not notable, and nothing indicates importance (he is a partner in a small firm, holds some professional certificates, and was pulled over by a police officer once? Seriously...) Singularity42 (talk) 23:45, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think this would issue a speedy deletion but the article still has major flaws. 74.227.231.144 (talk) 23:50, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete consider speedy. no assertion of notability in the article and con't find anything to establish notability.  The article is also spammy.   GB fan  talk 23:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable sources of any information that would imply notability. The story of getting arrested in the parking lot of Friendly's is priceless though.  Almost worth keeping the article.  Snottywong (talk) 23:54, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Indeed. Although the article should be deleted, I'm curious as to what "cause" the cop found to arrest Mr. Getzel and his son. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 00:34, 27 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete. This could have been speedied for notability, but personally I see that police story as an attack. See also Michael Getzel. This is very odd. andy (talk) 23:58, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I managed to read the Michael Getzel article before an admin deleted it, and I concur that a deletion as a WP:ATP under G10 was absolutely proper. But with this article, I'm not so sure of whether it meets any of the WP:CSD. Unlike the other article, I don't think this one is an attack page. Certain elements of it (all the stuff about NAMBLA, implying that Mr. Getzel is a pedophile; the Friendly's parking lot arrest story) could possibly be construed that way, but I think a G10 speedy would be declined, and rightly so. As for A7, while it is true that there is no assertion of notability (as I mentioned above), I took a path of caution, as new users (like User:Mgetzel in this case) might not know that notability has to be asserted. That was before I saw the Michael Getzel attack page, of course; at this point I would be open to speedy deletion of this page. Anyone here may feel free to tag it thus if he or she so desires.

 * I've done so. It's not entirely an attack but enough of one, given the other rubbish the author has created, to make it highly questionable. And in the case of BLPs that should be enough. andy (talk) 10:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
