 * Delete - I tagged this as a speedy delete under A7 since I could see no claim of notability. I can still see no evidence of any notability. He was a successful car dealer in Colorado. Probably a nice guy. That's it. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 22:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - No assertion of notability, fails WP:GNG. I also would have speedied it. GABgab 01:17, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, it should obviously have been speedied A7. if you look at the contributions of the editor who declined it, there's a clear pattern of failing to apply the "credible" part of the "credible claim of significance or importance" criterion in WP:CSD. One WP:SNOWBALL article after another gets its speedy declined, usually with the edit summary "asserts enough significance to survive A7". The end result is a sharp increase in the number of pointless, time-wasting AFDs. OnionRing (talk) 05:52, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
