Ken Mahoney

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

promotional article, almost entirely written by banned undeclared paid editors.

The claims to being a producer of the various shows are generally correct; the claims that the shows won awards are correct. The claims that he won an award for being the producer are false. The books are all self-published--only the first is even in WorldCat

If he is notable, this needs to be started over.  DGG ( talk ) 20:22, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep - First, I totally agree it's promotional and would benefit from a re-write, it reads like a LinkedIn resume, but I do think he passes GNG, and I would also like to know which - claims that he won an award for being the producer are false - because they are plenty of sources that say otherwise - a Tony award-winning Broadway producer, he won a Tony Award as a producer., owner of two Tony Awards for his work as a producer, Ken is a Tony Award winning and Grammy nominated Producer, a Tony Award winning producer, Mahoney Wins Tony, a producer who has won multiple Tony Awards and three Emmys.-- Isaidnoway (talk)  17:38, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT - I agree with Isaidnoway that the subject is notable, but the article as it is is a complete mess. — Chevvin 19:36, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete instead as I also notice the apparent awards but there are still concerns that are outweighing this and with there being nothing substantial enough to suggest keeping altogether, this is best deleted. I would also suggest, if a new user attempts this, to please use AfC instead. SwisterTwister   talk  06:16, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PROMO. Nothing salvageable here. Best deleted and then recreated a not an advertisement. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:57, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
