The result was   delete. I deleted this, but it was recreated. It's not common practice, I believe, for the deleting admin to close the AfD in a case like this, but I don't see why it would be problematic, and then we can move on to the next AfD. Drmies (talk) 16:16, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

I added the WP:PRODBLP at first (because neither of the external links are a reference of anything the article currently has or had. But I change it to AFD as the constant re-creation has persisted. According to Liz, the lattest re-creator, Belcher is notable. In more than five years no one has proven why Belcher passes the minimal criteria of WP:GNG, or explained why his bio can't be located at Selmedica, as he is/was their CEO. Google refs only speak about this event of his life, no more. If he has notability aside from Selmedica it can be kept, but the article nowhere indicates he is notable on his own.

 * Delete per WP:PERP and WP:BLP1E. The only sources I can find are those related to his arrest and prosecution, which isn't enough to build a biography on. Should probably be redirected to Selmedica - although that company itself has notability issues, and may have to be considered for deletion itself. But either way, we definitely shouldn't have a BLP here. Robofish (talk) 23:40, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm going to ignore a few rules here and cut this short. The history is one of BLP violations, its current state is dramatic, and its future will have to be rewritten from scratch. If someone wants to create that redirect they can go ahead; I don't see much of a need for it. In addition to the BLP issue, I'll name A7: the article in its current or past state makes no believable claim to notability. Someone doing some business and maybe getting in trouble is not a reason in itself for having an article. Drmies (talk) 03:54, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
