Does not meet notoriety criteria as either business leader nor electoral candidate. Miquelon (talk) 04:45, 8 March 2012 (UTC) Strongly suspect sockpuppeteering as three main contributors have no other entries on Wikipedia page. French language page was canidate for speedy deletion. See talk page for info. Miquelon (talk) 05:01, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * 1) Delete: notability not sufficient. Page was written by three users whose sole contribution was this only article. Being cited in a trade magazine and running for office are not sufficient criteria for notability. Miquelon (talk) 21:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Xelbaz has once again removed the request for deletion tag in clear violation of procedure. Miquelon (talk) 06:19, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete It was deleted on the French WP and we should follow this wise decision. I agree that his notability is not sufficient. Eleventh1 (talk) 08:27, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Other language Wikipedia's have different notability criteria, so in fact we should totally disregard it's deletion or retention elsewhere.--Pontificalibus (talk) 22:04, 16 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment. I'm putting in a sock request since there's been concern over sockpuppetry. Sockpuppet investigations/Wikilive1 Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:51, 16 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - I need to leave AfD and get busy writing, but the web footprint of this individual looks big enough to source out a piece. I'm leery of an agenda-driven decision here and encourage English WP volunteers to carefully look at the sources. Carrite (talk) 16:12, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets the general notability guideline having received significant coverage in reliable sources (e.g. 1, 2, 3).--Pontificalibus (talk) 22:17, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The sources cited above pass WP:GNG. Article needs a cleanup, though.  Sandstein   20:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
