Pelin Thorogood

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable marketing exec lacking independent third party coverage. PROD deleted. Jonathanwallace (talk) 03:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. I object to this deletion and have worked hard to meet the standards, adding more third-party references and relevant links where possible. Given her background, Pelin is notable. Updated: Addressed a notability requirement; deleted a PR reference and replaced with third-party reference; and include the full headline of the Cornell article. Thanks.

 * Delete, strongly. Typical PR snow job for a PR person.  Referenced to her own stories (with titles like The Birth of Customer 2.0.  God preserve us!)  and PR sources.  Does not appear to meet the notability guideline for academics.  Whatever Customer 2.0 is, I doubt that the body of human knowledge is advanced by it.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:26, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete As my PROD reasoning previously: Non-notable, based on PR, self-promotional primary sources; lack of independent reliable sources to show notability; WP:BIO.  Chzz  ►  05:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
