 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 00:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. A bunch of mildly interesting career facts, with questionable verifiability (most or all are sourced to company/personal web pages or the subject's web site) do not add up to notability. --MCB (talk) 03:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 21:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Claims in the article are not supported by the resources and links provided by editors with a vested interest in keeping the article. This article is over one year old and in this amount of time no one can provide reputable online or offline references to back up the presumed "facts" in this article about someone who is presumably so notable (and would therefore be "newsworthy", meaning that it should be very easy to find reputable publications mentioning this person)? What exactly is the difference between this article and a self-generated press release? This is the kind of situation (the prolonged tolerance of articles grossly lacking verifiability) that hurts Wikipedia's credibility tremendously. Please check the article's "Talk" page for a more thorough dissection of the resources cited in this article. I will quote this editing page again "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable".Geesbart (talk) 16:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as CV of non-notable person. Even if all of it becomes verified as true, this does not make the person notable unless sources discus him specifically.Yobmod (talk) 15:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
