Declined G11 speedy. The article seems a bit like an advertisement, but it seems that the article about the individual fails WP:BIO, even if the company that he founded might clear notability. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Delete. Logs show that the article was speedily deleted three times.--CyberGhostface (talk) 18:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep – but just barely. I did find, by my criteria, just enough coverage by reliable sources to make a case for Notability, as shown here .  Regarding the company  Marriage Fitness, if an article is ever created it should be a redirect to Mort Fertel.  The two are inseparable at this point as shown here .

 * Delete. Most of those sources linked to above seem reliable, but don't seem to have significant discussion of the subject matter to establish notability, IMO. Cirt (talk) 04:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ff m  15:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

DeleteThe subject seems to fail WP:BIO and the article just reads like promotion/advertisement.Austin46 (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
