Article reads like a resume, person does not meet the criteria of Notability (people). Donald Albury 11:40, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * As the nominator, I will note that article is pure self-promotion; aside from some technical edits such as adding categories, all the edits have been from User:Jessequ and one IP address, User:156.39.0.251. -- Donald Albury 11:49, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

The Wikipedia page Jesse T. Quirion highlights a number of milestone projects that Mr. Quirion has completed for the City of Port St Lucie which includes projects such as: The Westmoreland ARRA funded Paving project, priority sidewalk projects, school bus stop pilot program and the development of the City's Fiber Optic network. Without Mr. Quirions contributions to the City of Port St. Lucie the City would not be were it is today. Rather than proposing deletion of this wiki page a recommend reclassifying this article as a notable resident of the City Of Port St Lucie. Resident of the City of Port St Lucie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.139.32 (talk) 17:21, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

This article details a number of accomplishments and projects completed under the direct guidance of Jesse Quirion. The projects completed and accomplishments have been referenced at the bottom of the page by a number of external sources including the Port St Lucie City website, Treasure Coast Newspaper and a number of other non associated websites. As stated above, I recommend this page to be recategorized as a notable resident of the City of Port St Lucie for his contributions to the growth of the City's infrastructure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.138.153 (talk) 15:39, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

This article is well written and documented. This is very helpful as I am looking for a civil engineer. I'm thankful for resources such as this to help me in my search for another employee. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.136.38 (talk • contribs) — 166.205.136.38 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I disagree and think this article should stay part of the Wikipedia community. This article cites references to projects designed and completed by a person who made a difference and improved an American city, Port St. Lucie, FL. Port St. Lucie would be without many important structures and functions without Jesse Quirion. It is important to make information like his projects and accomplishments available to the public, similarly to crediting an architect's name in association with a building. Here is an example of a similar wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_L._Albertson and many more are listed under civil engineers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.9.124.2 (talk) 21:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

This information is valuable to Wikipedia, especially for those interested in a career in civil engineering.


 * Speedy delete. Blatant résumé, COI, and vanity piece. Directly violates Wikipedia is not the place to post your résumé. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 20:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Catorgorize This article should be rewritten, it is clearly an article detailing the numerous governmental projects and accomplishments completed by the individual and is not a resume or self promotion. The article should be recorgorized and possible rewritten to read more as a list of the accomplishments and not sound as if it is to be a resume. This article should be kept in the wikipedia encyclopedia as a notable resident. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.137.238 (talk • contribs) — 166.205.136.38 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Strong delete. I'm sure he's very good at his job or whatever, but Wikipedia is not LinkedIn, and is not a place for anyone to post their CV. Article doesn't make a meaningful assertion of notability, and fails to meet general notability guidelines. Dawn Bard (talk) 23:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BIO, all the sources cited merely quote him in a story about some engineering project and describe him as a "civil engineering intern" or similar which doesn't qualify as significant coverage. Article is obviously written by the subject as a self-promotion exercise and would require a fundamental rewrite even if he was notable. None of the Keep opinions above are remotely based on notability guidelines. Hut 8.5 11:53, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Purely promotional, would require a fundamental re-write to become encyclopedic; even then, I do not believe notability would be satisfied. Pol430  talk to me 17:15, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
