 * Joseph J Sherman (AfD) First nomination

Highly promotional article about non notable speaker. Written as a web page, giving extensive minor details of his personal experiences, and extensive quotes in references from PR about him. Article lists him as businessperson, but omits indication what his business was or is.  DGG ( talk ) 05:10, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Very promotional and not much for notability, it seems this says he lectures about business at a college in Jerusalem. My searches found nothing significant or notable. SwisterTwister   talk  05:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article needs thorough rewriting. But the subject is notable and contains proper citations in the article. It was previously nominated for deletion and the result was keep. - Arr4 (talk) 06:19, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: – Looking at the article, it's clear the man has several, secondary reliable sources that mention him. He seems to be a prominent motivational speaker. Therefore, let's not delete it. SilverSurfingSerpant (talk) 22:11, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Feeble keep: The references are possibly tainted by the subject writing for the newspaper that is providing them. At the same time, the article is distasteful, and the way it's getting over notability may be distasteful, but it probably is over the line for notability. That makes it a case for watching and cleaning, but not deleting. Hithladaeus (talk) 14:54, 29 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: The article needs to be rewritten, but he is notable. The subject was written about by   Mishpacha, a large Jewish magazine. Adamreinman (talk) 10:00, 2 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. AfD is not for clean-up, so the charge by nom that it is promotional is of no moment here. SOFIXIT.  It meets GNG, though barely, with sufficiently substantial RS coverage. It was kept a mere four months ago at AfD, with nom !voting and being in the significant minority, so I am a little surprised it is being re-nominated.  Epeefleche (talk) 10:03, 2 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. Reliable references are nearly all trivial mentions and non-trivial sources are poor. WP:BIO/WP:GNG not met. I'm amazed that people are saying anything else. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 19:05, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
