Quinley, Kevin M.
My initial reaction was that this qualified for Speedy as a vanity page per A7. I note that the creator of the article is User:Kquinley, whose only contribution is this article. However, on re-reading the article, there may be some argument that this person satisfies WP:BIO. There may be sufficient ghits for this person as well (assuming it's the same person). Out of an abundance of caution, I think it's best to put this one forward for consideration by all. Agent 86 19:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Notable in the world of accountancy, perhaps, but outside it?  Is WP:PROF an appropriate criterion to use?  If so, more references to his published work will be needed. Tevildo 20:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment' If he meets WP:PROF as an accountant, then he ought to be deemed notable.  While most respected accountancy journals have online versions, they are also fee for access so far as I know.  (I'm in Finance currently, but not a CPA.)  We might need a CPA to test the claims unless the article grows references.  WP:BIO would also be a legitimate test.  GRBerry 01:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, although not the most notable, the ghits seem to assert some degree of notability. We can't just delete it because it isn't Wikified. -- Alphachimp  talk  07:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Using ProQuest, I find several articles written by him in Business Insurance and some in Safety Management and Veterinary Economics, not much. Afd maybe should be relisted again. —Centrx→talk &bull; 21:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. It should of course be renamed to "Kevin M. Quinley". —Centrx→talk &bull; 18:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Somewhat distinguished career, but don't see anything encyclopedically notable. "500 papers" claim unsourced, if those are peer-reviewed, I might reconsider. ~ trialsanderrors 19:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The ones I find appear to be mostly book reviews and random articles. —Centrx→talk &bull; 20:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and speedy rename to put the last name last, needs sources Crazynast 20:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the 500 papers referenced JPotter 22:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Jason Potter, note that merely writing stuff will not make you notable, but if the books have ISBNs and are properly sourced, maybe keep. SM247 My Talk  22:53, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep references can be fixed per sofixit and solookitup. --DavidHOzAu 04:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - My initial was delete. The subject matter is dry, but would be to anyone outside the industry.  An author of 10 books (confirmed on [Amazon (link might not work, I think they use a token in the URL). I might even work with the guy to clean it up - kind of bored right now. --[[User:Geneb1955|  G e n e b 1 9 5 5  ]]Talk / CVU 08:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
