Mark Golob

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced biography of person who does not appear to be notable, edited by three SPAs. Contested PROD. I have looked for reliable sources without finding any. There may also be copyright issues - the article was originally a copypaste of franchisechoice-markgolob.com and even though it has been slightly rewritten, the way I understand WP:COPY it is not sufficient to change the phrasing and move words around. The main issue is notability, however - if the person is found to be notable the article can be rewritten entirely. bonadea contributions talk 12:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep but rewrite. 40 GNews hits, including Forbes, Miami and Oakland newspapers, etc. Needs significant work, including references, compliance with BLP. (GregJackP (talk) 16:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC))
 * Comment Fair enough - the fact that the article's author apparently has three different accounts that have been used only to edit this article made me a bit suspicious. I still suspect that somebody's been paid to write the article, but if the subject is indeed notable the article shouldn't be deleted. --bonadea contributions talk 18:16, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete There are no articles about Mark Golob. The 40 GNews hits are for health clubs that he ran.  He is a health club executive for a number of health clubs that have failed or had significant financial troubles. Some of them were press releases for the health clubs. The only article I found that did more than quote him about his health clubs or mention his status was one in the Miami Herald of 1986 "A Club Scene to Keep You Lean" which also indicated that previously he had been a concert promoter.  Golob was not an agent or talent manager, he just worked on concert promotion. There is no significant coverage in secondary sources. --Bejnar (talk) 19:24, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

 * My comment above is a bit ambiguous. I would still prefer to delete unless there are sources found that show the person's notability, rather than that of the health clubs, per Bejnar's comment. --bonadea contributions talk 12:56, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. User:Bejnar explains it very well. No significant coverage of Golob in reliable sources. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
