Jesse Byock

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable academician. Article seems to have been created as an advert. Created by a now-blocked user and heavily edited by another editor whose ID suggests he is himself the subject of the article (essentially turning it into a resume).

I PRODded it, but the PROD was removed by a newly-registered editor as his or her only edit. The comment by that editor ("i am so happy to see this page updated! I have read most of jesse byock's books and I believe all the information to be correct. don't know why there seemed to be a problem with the page") does not address the basic problem of nonnotability.

 * Keep. The article at the moment is in all kinds of a bad way, although before the possible-COI editor got involved it wasn't a complete mess. That said, if I'm not mistaken, the subject does pass NACADEMIC standards due to the positions he holds/has held. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:39, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

^Hi, I'm the user whose id you think suggests that I am Jesse Byock. Unfortunately, I am not. I am his greatest fan and hence I decided to use the username Jessebyock and his his page to everything I have researched about the guy. But if my actions have cause the page to be flagged for deletion, I apologize. I don't know why you think it's been turned as a resume since I just listed his achievements in the academia world. I am happy to delete my username if this helps clear up the mess I have made! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessebyock (talk • contribs) 13:32, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are not Jesse Byock, you will need to change your username ASAP. (usernames cannot be deleted). I have posted instructions on how to do this on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

I still believe that this page shouldn't be deleted. If anything, it should be made to look less like a resume. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubone5 (talk • contribs) 13:25, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep as this person does seem to pass notability standards(as BigHaz states), though the article needs to be radically rewritten. 331dot (talk) 13:37, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep It needs a lot more clean-up. With the credits to the history channel and his notability in the field he meets GNG. VViking Talk Edits 13:57, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
