Mark B. Barron

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Notability tag removed, without comment, by what looks like a single-purpose account. In my view, the sources provided to date either don't classify as "reliable", or don't pass the "non-trivial" coverage test. Happy to be persuaded otherwise, in which case, I'll speedy close this AfD. Dweller (talk) 11:54, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep In my view the secondary sources are certainly reliable (e.g. U.S. Patent Office, Chicago Tribune, et al). Information sourced to the subject's own website may need to be cleaned up, but the article doesn't warrant outright deletion.  While the subject is not covered in depth by most sources, his companies are, and he is at least mentioned in enough sources to qualify.  I am the article's creator (Also - not a single-purpose account.) Zyzzyballuba (talk) 00:34, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment It doesn't help that the creator, Zyzzyballuba | was noted to be a possible sock of accounts working on the same page and that | a majority of the user's edits appear to be for the Baron page and his invention, the S-1 Gard. --I Jethrobot (talk) 00:59, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Problems with notability and reliable references. The Chemo Caps don't seem to be a notable invention because it has no documented use, and the comparison to "cold caps," which was not an invention of Barron's, doesn't seem to belong in this article.  I think the Chicago and LA School Bus information are good references for use of the S-1 Gard.  However, several cities have no references or poor references.  The | Baltimore reference is no longer available.  There are no references for DC or LA on public transportation buses.  Also, the | MDZShield.com reference is not a reliable third-party source even if the ad was in Times Square. I Jethrobot --(talk) 01:22, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - lacks the necessary significant coverage in reliable sources on the subject to meet WP:BIO. TerriersFan (talk) 16:17, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
