Rob Black
Firstly, "Tall and handsome" is obviously not NPOV, and the article amounts to little more than an advertisement for an apparently minor (otherwise he'd have a real Wikipedia entry) radio celebrity.
 * Weak Delete. What a bunch of crap.  Only 531 Ghits but he seems more than minor to me when I examine them, as much as I'd like for this entry to be deleted.Devotchka 23:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There may be some more to this guy but at the very least the current content needs to be stripped. Essentially no claim of notability.--Nick Y. 23:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Completely non-notable. FYI, the Alexa rank for RobBlack.com is 920,345. -- Kicking222 01:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete He has a tv show/infomercial in the Bay Area, he's definitely not tall and handsome. He's short, fat, balding, and has downright freaky sideburns.  Frequently dresses like the godfather gone bad.  Is incredibly arrogant, he once bragged to an old lady that he had more money than her simply because she questioned one of his stock opinions. Most of what he says on the show is just copied from other news sources.  His own advice is basic and amateurish, he once said buy air conditioning stocks because of global warming.  Contradicts himself all the time, he says dont try to time the market but then he also says try to buy on dips and sell on spikes.  Doesnt understand risk adjusted returns when comparing asset classes. --68.121.102.140 02:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Rapid delete. Is there really a question about this?  -- FRCP11 11:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Rapid Delete. The porn director Rob Black is far more notable. "Rob Black" should refer to "Rob Zicari."JB196 09:48, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable, and heaven forbid we should come between JB196 and his porno. McPhail 16:10, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: HAHA, McPhail...also I wouldn't really say he's fat judging by his site, robblack.comJB196 16:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Until just last week, it did redirect to Rob Zicari. I must have mis-searched and not found the existing Rob Zicari page, otherwise I would probably have just reinstated the redirect. Is it too late to do this now I've proposed deletion? -- Davidhorman 22:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Eh I'd say just go ahead and do it, the decision's anonymous anyway...JB196 14:31, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
