John J. Ensminger

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Several reasons exist to examine this person's notability at AfD.

The page creator, who seems to have undisclosed COI, says on the talk page that "Mr. Ensminger wishes me to delete the entire article as he has no interest in Wikipedia... Mr. Ensminger has decided that the inability of Wikipedia to arrive at some conclusions regarding this page without slandering his name is unacceptable." So that amounts to article subject requests deletion.

I had also wondered about whether he is notable enough, after seeing the article at COIN, where King.parker3's edits were reported COI and the notability of the subject was also questioned. The original state of the article, before (I thought) I cleaned it up is here

Finally, King.parker3 has also repeatedly tried to CSD the article, which is not the proper venue. So here we are. Possibly (talk) 03:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep No valid reason for deletion has been given. We have other avenues to resolve CoI and tendentious editing issues.  Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:03, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing about Ensminger suggests he is so notable we should have an article on him when he does not want us to. In fact nothing suggests he is notable enough to merit an article at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE, subject is a "relatively unknown, non-public person", and as he has requested that this page be deleted, there is no reason to keep this around. Devonian Wombat (talk) 05:48, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. The subject doesn't seem to be so obviously notable that the public's interest in him would override the possible harm done by keeping the article against the subject's wishes (though we can't be completely sure it's him who posted in the talk). I don't know if the creator of the article has a COI, but unfortunately their efforts to add too much detailed information into the article made the page look promotional instead of a neutral Wikipedia biography, and that's why we ended up here. -kyykaarme (talk) 08:41, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, he apparently does not meet WP:NPROF. According to Scopus he has an h-index of 5. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:22, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
