Matthew C Martino

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Despite the numerous references and claims he is an author, film producer and a philanthropist, I can't find anything other than the briefest mentions of him in RS. 100 % self-promotion and nowhere near meeting WP:BIO. SmartSE (talk) 12:50, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

I am also nominating Matthew Martino Benevolent Fund for the same reasons and I should also note that some of the references are written by an SEO company linked to Sockpuppet_investigations/Smileverse/Archive. e.g. this one which used to say somewhere that it was operated from the same offices, but I think they must have removed it.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete both for now as the best I found was this and this. I have to also say the sourcing is completely unacceptable (by far not close to usual standards of sourcing especially significant third-party) and I'm not even familiar with some of the websites. There's simply nothing to suggest better at this time. SwisterTwister   talk  07:30, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, doesn't meet WP:ANYBIO. article shows that he has done lots of things, but that doesn't make him notable, as for being 101st world's richest author, - net worth of $200k and earned $50k last year?... if that's notable I better create articles for all my neighbors.
