Philip Masiello

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I see no evidence of notability, though I see claims to notability. The result of this search of Google News Archives speaks volumes; there are no reliable sources given in the article that are accessible and can help verify notability. The article itself reads more like a resume than an encyclopedic article. Drmies (talk) 20:13, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, or replace with the actually notable late labor union official Philip Masiello of Middletown, New York. Bearian (talk) 15:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I would like the opportunity to rewrite the entry in a more suitable manner. It was not meant to be a resume and all of the claims of notability can be substantiated. All of the articles exist and should be credited to the inroads made in the food supply chain.  I can also tie together the late Philip A Masiello, union official as I believe the two are connected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulartins (talk • contribs) 00:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)  — Paulartins (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * If you can do this before the AfD runs out, you might change people's minds. You could have it moved to your personal user space if it does get deleted--which would give you all the time in the world to work on it, and it would clear the way for the union official mentioned above (who could, of course, also just become Philip Masiello (labor official). Closing admin, please keep userfication in mind when closing time approaches--thanks. Drmies (talk) 01:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom Perfect example of the sort of American businessman/executive articles which should be removed from wikipedia enmasse.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:44, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. No evidence that this biography meets the standard of notability.--Lockley (talk) 03:06, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete nominator's search confirms that this person cannot meet WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 13:32, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. If it could be confirmed that he originated the idea of supermarkets selling complete meals, he might make it as notable. However, nothing could be found to substantiate that claim. Otherwise, he has co-founded a few companies and created little or no notability for himself in the process. The two articles he authored, which supposedly "incited great discussions on the modern retail supply chain," could be found only at the online site Searchweb, where they have been viewed only a few hundred times in two years. (I cannot link to them because Searchwarp is a blocked site for Wikipedia.) --MelanieN (talk) 23:09, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
