Paul F Glenn

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. The sourcing provided doesn't meet the bar and I wasn't able to find anything else that did.
 * 1) PacBizTimes is a local publication for businesses (ie a double whammy of low audience impact)
 * 2) CrunchBase is not only a business listing, it's user-generated, so unreliable
 * 3) Sharon Herold obituaries are user-submitted, so are not reliable/independent
 * 4) Obviously the Glenn foundation's own website is not an independent source
 * 5) Inside Philanthropy appears to simply be a directory-style listing, although it's paywalled so I'm willing to AGF that there could be more in-depth content below what's visible without logging in
 * 6) Rejuvenation Research is technically an academic journal, but it has, er, issues with self-citation and inflating its own impact factor, so reliability is questionable. It's also an interview, which is a primary source.
 * 7) EurekAlert is a "news release distribution service", which means that any content on it is not independent.
 * 8) InsideEko purports to be a newspaper but is hosted on WordPress. Come on.

Obviously if this is the best that's available we can't retain this article. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 22:09, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Anyone can buy their name on a professorship at Harvard by contributing $5 million to the university. That does not mean you can get yourself a page in Wikipedia by doing that.  DGG ( talk ) 07:21, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
