Robert C. Bush, Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. This is a WP:BLP with a pile of unsourced information. The section that is sourced is about media appearances; he's been on television and spoken at some conferences, but nothing earthshattering. I tried purging out some unsourced info, but the creator reinstated it. I've spent some time the last couple days trying to locate some sources, but I can't find anything that really establishes notability for him.

 * It has nothing to do with advertisement, It's just a bio. Aimatokritis (talk) 10:24, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment It's a blatant press release right now, with much of the content apparently copied from several web sites, which I've noted in an edit summary. As well, more appears to mimic text here . Even if copyright violation weren't an issue, tone and sourcing are. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 11:39, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I've made the appropriate changes. Aimatokritis (talk) 08:04, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

 * there are some more you need to make: remove jargon like "he was uniquely challenged with" (I think you mean, he has the job requirement to), or "investment culture of transparency and discipline; " , or "transferring financial acumen" . Besides being buzzwords, they are claims with no 3rd party sources.  Then, in his career, what exactly is a "merchant advisory boutique" or "a private equity investor" Is he investing his own money, managing a fund of other people's money, or giving advice to someone doing one or the other of that?  What I gather he actually did, was to be one of the people giving investment advice to the government of Dubai. What he actually does now I cannot determine, besides giving talks.

 * The passages of jargon cited appear to be lifted from the Linkedin page I mentioned above ; it's a press release copied from a press release. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 03:12, 2 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Userify - Considering the CV issue, this either needs to be addressed properly or deleted. It is unacceptable in this state, but the subject appears to meet GNG. It just has to be rewritten properly. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:23, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, I'm not convinced he even meets GNG. Hairhorn (talk) 15:59, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, In my opinion Robert Bush,Jr doesn't meet the notability guidelines.User:Lucifero4
 * Delete: Suggestions that the subject meets the GNG shows a lack of understanding about the GNG's provisions. That the subject is an occasional talking head for media outlets is verifiable, but the GNG requires that the subject be discussed himself in "significant detail" in multiple reliable, published, independent, third-party sources.  He doesn't meet the GNG by talking about things in reliable sources; he would only meet the GNG were the reliable sources talking about him.  So far, I see no evidence that this is the case. That being said, that the SPA who created this article is trying hard to understand our guidelines is apparent.  One key question is this, and it's one that's very seldom posed to SPAs: why is he pushing this article so hard?  What's his stake in coming to Wikipedia solely to push this somewhat obscure subject?   Ravenswing   10:18, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment, is it ok now with the latest changes? Aimatokritis (talk) 08:05, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm very sorry for all the work the creator put into this page, but this is still nowhere near to being a real encyclopedia article. The subject appears to be a run of the mill businessperson from what's in the article.  Even if, for argument's sake, he's notable, it's still written like a press relaase, needing a start from scratch. Delete or userfy. Bearian (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
