Phillip Davis (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't think the subject passes WP:N. Sources cite him a bit, and there are a handful of personal bio's on websites, but there's not really any significant coverage about the subject in reliable secondary sources. There are sources that talk about Tungsten Branding, but that's not the subject of this WP:BLP. Comatmebro (talk) 04:56, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:04, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Founder of a notable branding company. Enough primary sources to meet WP:NBIO KittyKatey (talk) 14:41, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * KittyKatey (talk) is the creator of the article in question.
 * WP:PRIMARY sources are not intellectually independent from the subject, and are the exact opposite of what we are looking for to establish notability.--SamHolt6 (talk) 16:52, 24 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep Davis technically meets WP:GNG guidelines based on sources provided. Reliable and independent citations are available. Lightningbumbum (talk) 15:28, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * If better quality sources exist, they should be added to the article or shared here. However, primary sources should be avoided; for example, the source you added was written by the subject (a WP:PRIMARY issue) and is part of a paid program. SamHolt6 (talk) 22:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not meet WP:GNG. Yet to demonstrate significant impact to business world or industry. PenulisHantu (talk) 16:39, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MILL - he does branding for other companies. How is that notable, unless he wins a Clio or its equivalent? Bearian (talk) 21:07, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - as a WP:NBIO failure. While the article cites sources, too many are centered around WP:PRIMARY information or lack the depth of coverage needed to establish the subject's notability. SamHolt6 (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Though some citations are relying on WP:PRIMARY sources, there are enough sources that meet WP:N and show that Davis is notable in the branding space.73.212.1.155 (talk) 16:15, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * 73.212.1.155 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete Fails WP:GOLDENRULE. Missing persistent, significant and in-depth coverage. Notabililty not established. Accesscrawl (talk) 05:15, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
