Phil Rock

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As written, does not appear to meet WP:Notability guidelines, specifically, WP:GNG. Additionally, cited references #7-9 are circulation references for cited # 3. A Google phrase search for "Phil Rock" + "ATM Network" (the company he apparently founded, of which also likely lacks nobility per WP:NCORP), reveals a few blog and digital-only pseudo-news articles—most, or all of, which offer only either tangential, passing mentions, or which provide coverage of trivial matters. Does not meet WP:SIG. Doug Mehus (talk) 21:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. The lead appears to claim that he invented the ATM. In fact, he merely owns an independent ATM company. Even if he were the first one, that is not a notable achievement. Bearian (talk)
 * Delete Seems very puffery to me and I can't locate any decent references and doesn't appear to meet any of the criteria for people.  HighKing++ 18:00, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete another in a very long line of articles on non-notable businessmen.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
