Speedy tag removed by an IP. Autobiography COI biography, no third-party references. Has been speedied three times before. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 05:34, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as the one who applied the last of many deletion tags. Darrenhusted (talk) 09:29, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Does the fact that he was awarded the ITSMA Golden award in 2005 make him notable? I agree the article has NPOV issues, but let's not be hasty. PDCook (talk) 13:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Given that much of the article is referenced from pauldunaysblog.blogspot.com, I say the article fails WP:V for the time being. Given that he produced a for Dummies book, I'd say reliable third-party sources shouldn't be that hard to find, only when I click on News what I get is a lot of press releases and false positives. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 13:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It should also be said that the ITSMA is a minor organization whose Wikipedia article is a one-line stub, possibly A7-speedable. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 19:03, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Another comment - This article was written by the subject's son (he claims this on his talk page). So, it's not an autobiography, but a heavy dose of COI.PDCook (talk) 14:18, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable per WP:BIO, no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources, plus COI issues noted above. MuffledThud (talk) 18:26, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I have added more reliable sources from interviews and such, I will continue to update the page, give me any suggestions, or even help if you would like to. Dharokowns (talk) 18:28, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Interviews cannot be regarded as reliable sources, since they consist of the subject talking about himself. What you should look for are third-party sources that are perhaps using those interviews as their source. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 04:37, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable person. The article creator has repeatedly created several other non-notable articles on wikipedia which were speedily deleted. A look at his user-talk page will reveal the amount of non-notable articles which he created that had to be deleted. Apart from deleting this promotional article administrators should also consider temporarily blocking the user's right to create new articles, since it is obvious that this user refuses to acquaint himself with Wikipedia's Rules.

 * That just hurts, I am trying to contribute. Dharokowns (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I have found many reliable sources, no interviews or blogs, and am adding them to the page after I finish writing this, if they work for you, don't delete the page please! Dharokowns (talk) 03:15, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I have added many more reliable sources, please review them. I cannot find anything on his childhood, I will keep looking, I removed the blog posts I had as sources because you did not like them and I made it so other people can add sources for that if they can find any. Thanks! Dharokowns (talk) 03:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable, the sources do not strike me as especially reliable, nor am I convinced that this person meets notability requirements. Additionally, there are the serious WP:COI concerns.   Cocytus   [»talk«]  23:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Businesspeople-related deletion discussions.  —PDCook (talk) 03:14, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, marketing page for a marketing guy. No evidence of genuine notability, sources are not reliable.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 00:27, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
