Article reads like a vanity page. Article does not meet WP:BIO guidelines (as is evidenced via Googling). Page seems to attract edit wars, including many unsourced and potentially libelous allegations Axlrosen (talk) 04:47, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find much of anything on this guy OR his company--most of what comes up for both are press releases. Blueboy96 13:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

 * 86.172.137.232 hit the nail on the head on the article's talk page back in September. This article is a coatrack.  It is actually about, and has been primarily about since its very first version, some helicopter company.  So my immediate thought was to follow 86.172.137.232's suggestion and swiftly rename and refactor.  But looking for sources on Pompano Helicopters I found nothing at all.  The world simply hasn't independently documented this company.  There are duelling press releases by this company and another relating to some legal actions that they are parties to, but those are not independent sources.  There are also a few helicopter accident and noise protest reports in newspapers, but those don't actually say anything substantial about the company from which an article can be written. This article, despite its title, was never really an article about a person; and there are, simply, no multiple independent published works (by people with good reputations for fact checking and accuracy) documenting the subject (that the article is in fact about) in depth, to be had.  The PNC is not satisfied.  Delete. Uncle G (talk) 23:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as a coatrack that additionally fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Ironholds (talk) 19:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Not wiki worthy.  Self-promoting and then a war page.  A-StarPro (talk) 12:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC) — A-StarPro (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete - same reason as Ironholds et all. Kevin (talk) 21:52, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
