Phil Tadros

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An ordinary businessman who has started non-notable businesses. He was profiled in his alumni magazine, which is not sufficient to establish notability. This article was apparently written and maintained by a paid editor or PR company. It's competently written, but there is nothing to show that the subject is any more notable than thousands of other entrepreneurs. It has been nominated for speedy delete, and prodded,. It's been tagged as an advertisement,. Despite improvements to the article, the subject still does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO.  Will Beback   talk    09:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Phil Tadros is the creator of a leading internet marketing agency in Chicago and one of Chicago's foremost voices in internet marketing. His work at such a young age has led to the creation of nearly 100 jobs and served to put Chicago on the map as a leader in the digital age. This entry is valid & necessary to document the evolution of Chicago as a player in the digital arena. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.80.12.192 (talk) 05:14, 21 December 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

All of which makes him a bit part player in Chicago! There are countless thousands of businessmen and women who have created 100 jobs - it's not a big deal - so he is not exactly a suitable Wikipedia subject in that regard. As for his notability beyond the confines of Chicago, there do not appear to any sources in national US or international media; one must conclude that he an entrepreneur who has done well *according to this PR puff) but nothing out of the ordinary.

 * Delete Sorry, among Wikipedia's goals "documenting the evolution of Chicago as a player in the digital arena" (whatever that means) doesn't number. EEng (talk) 21:32, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
