Josh Valdez
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nominating a page previously deleted at least 3 times already, see Articles for deletion/Josh Valdez. References fail to demonstrate notability per WP:BIO. Article is written like a promotional piece and, even if notable, would require a substantial re-write to have an encyclopedic tone. References are all press releases. There is suspicion that the article is written by a COI editor as the article was written & photo uploaded by a seemingly single-purpose account, User:CrownP. ~ Pesco  So say•we all 03:51, 3 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete and Salt and Maybe Write An Article About The Subject Being a Dick As I said in the AfD leading to this article's second deletion... No wait, it was the third time this article was recreated and deleted. Um, no, it was definitely the first time it was deleted.  Well, whenever it was, I said:
 * Delete: Normally I'll say something like [another editor in the AfD] did ("He seems to be a hard-working guy" etc.) but when people spam WP for their personal promotion, I take off the gloves. This is blatant spam by a non-notable nobody, and I've tagged it for speedy.
 * And indeed it was speedied, yet here we are again. At what point does numbskulled recreation, by the subject (admittedly making an assumption here), of a vanity article over and over, rise to the level that it should be subject of an article for that reason alone i.e. Repeated recreation of Wikipedia vanity article on Josh Valdez, non-notable person - ?

 * I agree with salting it. How does this get done? ~  Pesco  So say•we all 18:00, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The closing admin can do it. EEng (talk) 09:19, 6 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete and sprinkle liberally with NaCl, per EEng. If the page creator still hasn't established notability after so many attempts (and they seem to have tried, see their talkpage) then it's a pretty safe bet that such notability doesn't exist. Yunshui 雲水 11:15, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for gaming the system by moving his/her own article from the WP:AFC-space! mabdul 14:18, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
