Mo Stegall

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I'm concerned about the notability of Mr. Stegall. He doesn't get as many hits as other motivational speakers and most of the content isn't reliable. There is also a lot of content in this that is uncited about a BLP. A possible AfD? (Please do not take this personal!) Sarah (talk) 16:52, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I very emphatically do not consider the sources reliable for notability. They are essentially all in the nature of mere listings or press releases. allamericanspeakers.com in particular doesn't show notability, and I am not even sure of reliability for the facts in a BLP.

 * Delete Google search finds self-referential listings, social media, and (of course) this article. Google News Archive finds a few mentions in the Charlotte Observer, otherwise nothing. Way short of what is required for notability, which needs reliable sources ABOUT the subject, not just quoting or mentioning him. --MelanieN (talk) 18:11, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
