Randy Parole

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Tagged for notability since July 2009. Gsearches turn up nothing aside from cursory mentions in PR statements. I conclude this executive fails WP:BIO. Ray Talk 15:22, 11 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:21, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Randy Parole and Randy J. Parole. No significant coverage in reliable sources asserting notability. Location (talk) 22:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC) [edited 23:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)]
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. No indication that the individual meets the threshold of notability listed at WP:BIO. No independent reliable sources found. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:24, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * don't delete it, McDonalds and netflix talk about themselves on this too doesn't that mean they are advertising themselves? don't be hypocritical —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mheiseus   (talk • contribs)  22:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply - Other stuff exists isn't a viable keep argument. If you want your article kept, read WP:BIO then update the Randy Parole article to meet that notability guideline by using reliable sources to provide verifiability.  Also, regarding the comparisons you mentioned ... this is an article about a person, not a company - so the notability guidelines are slightly different - but there are still guidelines.  The Netflix and McDonalds articles meet the notability guideline of WP:CORP.  Meanwhile, the Randy Parole article does not currently seem to meet the notability guideline of WP:BIO.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply you guys are total snobs get over yourselves this is public domain and he has a right to be on here if he wishes. its not like its graffiti or porn, he is a member of a business community and wants to be mentioned. If Bill gates gets to be on here then why not randy Parole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mheiseus (talk • contribs) 19:06, 22 September 2009
 * Comment - You were already directed to WP:BIO. Please read it.  Randy Parole does not seem to currently meet that notability guideline - while the Bill Gates article that you mentioned does show he is notable per the threshold outlined in that  guideline.  Also, you seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is not public domain.  All contributions to it are under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License.
