The result was   delete. Clear consensus, but can I point out that the number of google hits a subject has is not any indicator of notability whatsoever Fritzpoll (talk) 13:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

No reliable sources support the notability of the subject. Self promotion and COI issues exist as well. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * HEY MUFKA

Just because you don't agree with my importance in the paranormal community, why don't you do a google search? Or is it easier to destroy someone's work in a field of endeavor that is important to some. Does it go against your religious belief or something? Then delete every ghost hunter in the thing You are UNFAIR because I'm white and a ghost hunter —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaghostsociety (talk • contribs) 19:39, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I've just done a google search. I only find 1500 hits. That's really not very many. Setwisohi (talk) 19:42, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * How many do you have? Huh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnengrmh (talk • contribs) 19:44, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I just did a Google search on "Robert Hunnicutt" and also came up with 1500 or so. Interesting thing was that most of the top listings were for an orthopedist in Fort Worth, not this guy. Rklear (talk) 21:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What is the position of Google hits? I have nominated an article for deletion - the subject of which has just 100 google hits - see To my mind that is sure fire certainty that he can't be notable. And yet some editors are claiming that he is notable. On that basis this guy must be ok surely? [[User:Setwisohi|Setwisohi] (talk) 10:13, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment = There is no evidence that this insulting person (Gaghostsociety) is the person listed in this article. I suspect that the real Hunnicutt would be more gracious than this and would know not to make borderline racist comments like "You are UNFAIR because I'm white".

 * Delete and suggest SALT. No notability established, Google search did not return any reliable sources. Suggesting SALT because user has stated "I will have my secretary or other in my organization edit it in the future" here.  Chzz  ►  21:37, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure that's not a fair representation of his words. He actually said "If it would be better [than editing it myself], I will have my secretary or other in my organization edit it in the future, I meant no disrepect or intentional rule breaking."

 * Yes, the editor appeared to be acting in good faith at that point, just understandable ignorance of WP:COI. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 23:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I can find no evidence that Hunnicutt has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. In fact, I can find no evidence in any secondary sources that this person exists at all. Fails WP:BIO. -Atmoz (talk) 19:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I deleted the snarky rationale I posted here, but I still think it's a delete. There seem to be only trivial mentions in the external links (in a section mislabeled "references"), although there were more extensive mentions in earlier ELs, albeit from the Georgia Ghost society's own site. However some of them seem to be copy/pastes from independent publications. I'll copy/paste the links here for perusal by other editors and the closing admin.
