Ken Kelln

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable head of a solar energy company, Kelln Solar; the entry for the company never made it past speedy. Hairhorn (talk) 00:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * (Speedy?) Delete: Non-notable person. Mattg82 (talk) 00:29, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Take a look at these references. As for the company, these references suggest that it was "one of the first companies in the province (Saskatchewan) to offer solar energy technology more than 20 years ago." - Eastmain (talk) 00:57, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply: Speedily deleting the company then was probably a bit hasty. Unsure about Ken himself though. Mattg82 (talk) 01:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "one of the first in Saskatchewan" is a pretty weak claim to notability, Saskatchewan is one of the smallest provinces in Canada, population-wise, I doubt he has that much competition even now, never mind 20 years ago. At any rate this AfD is about the notability of an individual, not a company. Hairhorn (talk) 02:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, non notable. -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  04:26, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, not individually notable apart from his company; I can't find anything that would indicate otherwise.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 10:53, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, bordering on weak delete. Notability is of the "notability by association" variety, and even that is pretty weak.  Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:45, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Dellt. Fails to meet any relevant notability guideline for biographical articles, epically.  JBsupreme (talk) 20:25, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, being a company director does not on its own demonstrate much notability and certainly being "part of" a research team and erecting something does not address WP:BIO either. The Google News matches are not that significant as they seem of the semi-promotional sort rather than recognizing notability.—Ash (talk) 16:09, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * DONT delete, This was my first wikipedia article, but having read the requirements of being a 'notable figure' I believe I have supplemented the references sufficiently, and will continue to fine-tune this for aesthetic and clarity reasons. Thanks Eastmain for some I missed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Treesforourchildren (talk • contribs) 16:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
