 * Delete per lack of other sources on Google and Yahoo aside from his website and Linkedin. SwisterTwister   talk  19:47, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Keep - This article is accurate. This individual has tens of thousands of fans who download/ listen/ purchase his media venues monthly. The page should remain. He is young and growing in popularity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AM330 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 12 August 2011 (UTC) — AM330 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Comment If WrestleSlam Magazine is notable,he's notable as he editor of it. But, given that apparently only two issuea have been published, I think that article might need to be discussed also.  DGG ( talk ) 04:14, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Keep - The owners of many startups and CEOs of businesses have articles, this is a valid entry and has numerous sources including an interview with him at South by Southwest. They don't interview people who aren't notable at huge conventions like South by Southwest. I have even edited this article multiple times, along with the page on WrestleSlam Magazine. The Editors of other magazines such as Sports Illustrated and ESPN sportswriters have articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.30.31 (talk) 01:43, 17 August 2011 (UTC) — 24.45.30.31 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep - I created this account to say that I am a wrestling fan and have been for years and I subcribe to WrestleSlam Magazine and Joseph Marinaccio is a big name in the wrestling industry. There are also secondary sources listed in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WWEfan78 (talk • contribs) 01:55, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete This guy is too young to be anything notable. This article appears to be embellished favorably (without any WP:RS). I can't see any obvious WP:RS on Google. Methinks the above 3 keeps are by the embellisher (note the consistency in the formatting). btw that would make a great name for a pro wrestler ("the embellisher").

Keep I'm Gregory Hamill, the user who created this article. There are hundreds of articles of individuals (kids, even) who were born in 1994, so the argument that he is too young is simply invalid. I created the article because it does more than meet the notability requirements, and given the younger age, it is impressive. Being that he is an entrepreneur, some sources will be from his created content, however there is nothing that links to personal items such as Facebook or Linkedin. There are also outside sources, including an interview done with him for South by Southwest, which, as stated above, is a major event. As stated above, Editors of other magazines and other entrepreneurs do have articles and this is no different. This article does not take anything away from the credibility of Wikipedia as it does meet the notability requirements. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the above three keeps, but I agree with them. --MDH326 03:10, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I follow the publishing and media industries closely, the delivery of information in these industries is evolving rapidly and even those in these fields are not certain what shape delivery of content will ultimately take. This individual is braking ground and helping to create the new normal of content delivery. The young age of the individual makes this body of work even more relevant as it represents the expectations of the next and possibly most influential generation to the publishing industry. The accomplishments of this individual or not only noteworthy but also timely and possibly foretell trends in the delivery and packaging of content.  KEEP......KEEP......KEEP .... many are interested in people who are notable, relevant and on the forefront of multimedia. The accomplishments and body of work are clearly substantial and support keeping this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Infoman1717 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 21 August 2011 (UTC) — Infoman1717 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep. Comment Searching the subjects name does turns results and from what I gathered he more than meets WP:Creative standards. I couldn't see any blatant instances of embellishment, however it can always be edited. I don't see any reason for deletion. — by 24.45.30.31 (talk) 23:10, 21 August 2011 (UTC) Note Editors may only !vote once.

Comment- I posted above, I do think the article should be kept as it does meet the notability standard. If nothing else, he is the Editor of a legitimate publication (a publication that actually has an article on Wikipedia). I wanted to share this link to an interview done with him at South by Southwest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.30.31 (talk) 01:59, 22 August 2011 (UTC) — 24.45.30.31 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Note to AfD Administrator Very unusual activity on this AfD. Lots of new user IDs with almost no experience making keep recommendations. Suspect that they all belong to one or two individuals. Like-formatting suggests one individual. Have reported at ANI.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 02:20, 22 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete As per nomination. Google searches do not reveal sources to establish notability.  N o f o rmation  Talk  02:33, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Comment There has been some odd activity on here, definitely more than I would have expected on this particular article. However, I don't think that means the article should be deleted. As the user said above, it may be one person, but I think there is a point in that this subject does meet the WP:CREATIVE criteria. I did create this article, so obviously think it should not be deleted, especially just because someone may be overdoing it on here. --MDH326 22 August 2011 (UTC)
