Highly promotional articles, including plenty of peacock terms, about a married couple who have donated piles of money to various causes. Simply donating big amounts of money and being executives in major corporations don't make someone notable, and nor does writing a few books. Example quote: "Mary Joy enjoys helping others to succeed and reach their goals and dreams." Nyttend (talk) 04:10, 1 May 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete Mary Joy Stead as non-notable per WP:BIO. Keep Jerre Stead, notable per WP:BIO but will require cleanup. The author appears not to have a COI but to be a resident of the same small town in Iowa. Drawn Some (talk) 04:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Jerre as a notable executive. No evidence for M.J. being notable. DGG (talk) 05:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
