Rick Marini

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:BIO. Article was created by an WP:SPA advertising-only account with no other edits other than related to Rick Marini. Was deleted previously as a non notable bio. Has a few links but they seem to be press releases, blog spam and merely trivial coverage or mentions. Wikipedia is NOT a "vehicle for advertising" and Self-promotion is not the route to having an encyclopaedia article. Hu12 (talk) 14:49, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete This appears to be the most substantial, independent source supporting this BLP article.  The majority of other articles appear to be about the products, not about Marini.  A search on GNews brings up similar articles, reviewing the products, not the person, like this blog source from Forbes. I, Jethrobot drop me a line 17:09, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
