This article has had major contributions from editors with apparent conflicts of interest: created by single purpose account User:Simpli and then heavily edited by Pdelgrosso. He's aged 32, and has had ten years of experience in ecommerce, and the main relevant non-wiki Ghits shows that his role is often that of a spokesman in all sorts of communications, be it press, email, web fora etc, in a PR or IR capacity. He has a brief bio listed in the Forbes directory (which states he's "Divisional VP at web.com), and a few other hits which are SEC disclosure filings. However, divisional VPs are pretty common, and I'm not convinced that getting your name on a few thousand press releases as a contact person is sufficient to make one notable.

 * Delete - appears to be fairly unremarkable. Per WP:HOLE, I'm just not seeing why he's any more special than most company VP's. If we can get some non-trivial press coverage on the guy, however, or some reasoning as to why he's notable, then I'm open to changing my opinion. Part Deux 08:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:BIO. WP:HOLE applies. MER-C 13:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, additionally there seems to be a problem with WP:V Alf photoman 15:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - "delete" because non-notable and "strong" because of WP:COI, WP:SPAM. --A. B. (talk) 15:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... -- check out Pdelgrosso's other contributions. There are edit wars at Interland and Web.com as he, anon IPs and some new SPAs try to sanitize these companies' images. See the article histories for Interland and Web.com -- looks like they're winning. If he's notable at all, it may be because of something buried in those deleted links to news stories. --A. B.

 * See AfD talk page: for a list of related biographical articles and editors also connected to Interland a.k.a. Web.com. The other articles may also be non-notable and some of the associated editors' user names are similar to those of the articles edited (example: JonathanBWilson started Jonathan B. Wilson). Many edits have been made by anonymous IPs that traceroute to atl2prdcrrt01-vlan4.net.interland.net

 * Delete I don't see anything in this article that meets any of the criteria at WP:BIO.--Isotope23 17:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Isotope23 --BozMo talk 18:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete ( and possibly protect ), fails WP:BIO and history indicates this article may have already been recreated at least once. See August 6, 2006 edit comments by user After Midnight --- Steevo714 23:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply and Delete I did do some PRODs related to this in August, but the edit history is a bit misleading. I was doing New Page Patrol that day and saw Peter Delgrosso, Pete Delgrosso and Delgrosso all created with identical content.  I was a rookie then and wasn't sure of what tag to put on them, so I PROD'ed them with a note that they were duplicates.   saw the PROD tags and merged them all together and redirected 2 of them to the other and cleaned up the history.  So the edit history that you are seeing with my name is actually the edit history copied from the other 2 articles (which still redirect there and should be deleted if this AFD passes) from the move/restore operation performed by the admin. --After Midnight 0001 00:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
