Joel Warady

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Doesn't establish the notability of this person. Lacks significant 3rd party coverage. Existing references point to a pair of articles where he was quoted but is not the subject. Rtphokie (talk) 13:54, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. I did a Lexis-Nexis Academic search for the phrase "Joel Warady", all time periods, Chicago Business sources (Chicago Tribune was not available for searching). Results? A single mention of the Joel Warady Group promotion of somebody else (not Warady) to a vp position. Second LN search, last 10 years, "Joel Warady" as a phrase, category "Major US and World News" turned up the same article, a couple of duplicate articles that also mention the Group (not the person) just in passing. The only direct third party source that directly mentions him just quotes him (Africa News, July 3, 2008, Kenya; Small Businesses Turning to Unusual AD Strategies):
 * Joel Warady, an Evanston, Illinois-based marketing consultant who created viral marketing campaigns for oral hygiene product TUNG brush, agrees. "People who try to sell on a video or who try to convince people to buy a product on a video are making a big mistake because that video will never become viral," he says. "That's the job of the Web site, not the video."
 * It's obvious the guy exists, but no indication of anything other than ephemeral notability, IMHO. --Quartermaster (talk) 14:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Do Not DeleteIf he is notable enough to be quoted and interviewed on NBC Nightly News, Fortune Magazine, CBS Money Watch and multiple magazines, I think think this is proof that Joel Warady is a respected leader in the marketing industry. Furthermore, Warady is a notable speaker and has held professorship positions at several universities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.210.49 (talk) 16:25, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Any chance you can supply citations to which you speak? That would be useful in evaluating this gentleman's notability. --Quartermaster (talk) 19:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep A person thats been on NBC and yet NOT NOTICIABLE ENOUGH? I have heard no such thing. SNESCDADDON (talk) 19:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Please refer to WP:N for more info on the criteria used to determine notability. Unless references showing significant 3rd party coverage can be produced, notability just cant be established.--Rtphokie (talk) 05:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Please click on SNESCDADDON (comment above - appears to be a trollish sockpuppet). Comment: My brother-in-law has been interviewed twice on NBC and I've been featured once on a Japanese national television network. Neither of us meet WP's notability criteria beyond that. --Quartermaster (talk) 20:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:BIO and WP:CORP.  --Sc straker (talk) 22:31, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
