Mark A Wallace

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable hospital administrator. Has received equally non-notable "awards". Role as an "overseer" for a business school is not notable. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 16:11, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: It appears that it's important for these updates to be live ASAP. That implies Wikipedia is being used to promote this WP:NN individual. Toddst1 (talk) 16:17, 25 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Should be deleted as the subject is a non-notable hospital executive. It seems promotional rather than like an encyclopedia article. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 16:38, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. The hospital of which he's CEO may well be notable but I don't see inheritability here.  The awards, and the many, many others listed in his bio page linked within, seem to me to be the usual pile of engraved glass on the walls of anyone in such a post -- not about merit but linked to fundraising.  A juried award at a national level might have produced a different result, but I didn't find one such. Ubelowme (talk) 18:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. The awards indicate some kind of notability, although I recognize that the article was created by someone with a conflict of interest and in its original form was a copyvio from the hospital's official biography of Wallace. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:35, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not seeing any evidence that the awards received are in any way notable, thus a recipient of them would not be notable by virtue of having received them.  The Talk page edit linked above strongly suggests that this page is being used to prop up a resume or something of that sort, which makes this a particularly troubling bio.
