Renny Johnson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not seem to pass WP:GNG, judging both by the article content and the shonky refs. TheLongTone (talk) 11:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. I was actually checking references and searching for further sources to see whether an AfD was justified myself when beat me to it. The following is the nomination statement that I prepared.
 * This article has been deleted three times, respectively by BLPROD, PROD, and speedy deletion criterion A7, and created for a fourth time. I think it's time to have a discussion to settle the matter.
 * It is clear that this person does not come anywhere remotely near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
 * Many of the references are unreliable sources such as YouTube, Wikipedia and blogs. Another source is on a web site which says that it offers "solutions" for businesses and publishers: Marketing speak for saying that it is an advertising site. Some of the references don't even mention Reddy Johnson, others barely mention him in passing, in some cases merely quoting a sentence or two from him. None of them is substantial coverage, reliable or otherwise.
 * In my web searches for information about Renny Johnson, results about this person were lost among hits for other people of the same name: a footballer, a cyclist, a musician, etc etc. Attempts to limit the search to this Renny Johnson by adding other content of the article resulted in getting almost nothing: for example, a Google search for "Renny Johnson" Mundakathil produced a total of 3 hits, one of which again mentioned a different Renny Johnson and, separately, a different person with "Mundakathil" in his name, and the other two were Wikipedia and another wiki.

 * Ah, a truly diligent editor who goes by the book rather than simply tagging things simply because they smell bad!TheLongTone (talk)


 * Comment, this one smells bad because the refs in the article smell bad, I'm not heading off into google so there is no vote. Szzuk (talk) 19:09, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
