Paul Miller (business and social entrepreneur)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about likely non-notable individual. Article: 1) is an orphan, 2) is written like an ad, 3) lacks citations, and 4) lacks valid assertion of notability. Article creator's two edits include this article and IBF, to which (s)he added "Intranet Benchmarking Forum".

The companies that he is involved with apparently do not have Wikipedia articles. (Intranet Benchmarking Forum did have an article but it was deleted by the author admitting to it being an ad; see Articles for deletion/Intranet Benchmarking Forum)

Likely self-promotion. scooteytalk 05:13, 12 September 2009 (UTC) Delete. This stub is going to be next to impossible to verify, as this name is extremely common in the United States. One of the authors is going to have to take on the burden of proving notability and fixing this stub to WP:BLP standards. Currently, this is a mess. Bearian (talk) 19:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete because I have not been able to locate reliable sources, because this would not be a useful redirect and there is no obvious merge target. However, the following facts from the nomination are not reasons for deletion: 1) (if it's an orphan, de-orphan it); 2) (if it's written like an ad, re-write it); 3) (if it's uncited, cite it); and 4) ("assertion of notability" is a CSD criterion and has nothing to do with AfD—at AfD all that matters is whether the subject is demonstrably notable.  Doesn't make a blind bit of difference whether the subject says it's notable.)— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  08:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
