Vanity page; does not meet WP:BIO criteria; unreferenced; it's about his career and written like a résumé AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 10:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Got the deletion notice. If the entry violates policy, then by all means delete it. I was hoping the online map links would be of educational value, but if that's not the case, or if the other stuff is COI, then it won't hurt my feelings if the page is deleted. All of the information listed there is avalibale elsewhere. Sparrow91 (talk) 01:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: It says in the Guide to Deletion: "Note: Avoid using the word 'vanity' in a deletion discussion even if you think it's the case — AFD gets media attention, and the word 'vanity' in AFDs has caused real problems for the Foundation . . . Vanity is a potentially defamatory term that should be avoided in deletion discussions." . . . The word "vanity" appears multiple times in the complaints here. So how do we draw the line between "vanity" and offering educational information and links, etc.? . . . I'm all for deleting anything that's inappropriate."

 * Delete as per WP:BIO. It seems that this article is a mirror of someone's selfmade home page! I have slight doubt that it is a case of WP:COI too. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  12:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Niaz. - &#10032; ALLSTAR &#10032; echo 13:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - vanity personal page of non-notable cartographer. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:BIO, reads as spam or at least a vanity page. No reliable sources given for, well, any of the statements made. -- Kesh (talk) 14:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
