Roger Matas

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A coatrack of advertising of a so called "well-known journalist". The whole article is composed of original research and fails WP:V. Another interesting thing to note: the talk page was deleted in November 2006 as a G6: orphaned talk page. This makes me think that this guy was deleted before although I have no hard proof.

 * SPEEDY Delete and SALT. Authored by a WP:SPA, User:Mataspr (see contribs), this article is a violation of WP:COI and WP:Bio, and WP:AUTO. It is souced back to a the Matas Public Relations website "mataspr.com" which further underscores the COI. If Matas thinks its okay for Matas Public Relations to write an article about Matas (the owner), they have not read the rules.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Autobiographies are discouraged, but COI is not itself a reason for deletion. Lack of notability is, and in this case, I do not think that notability has been or is likely to be established. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Roger_Matas, an article by this name was speedily deleted on 27 November 2006 by Edgar181 (talk · contribs) Only two Google News articles at this search .--Eastmain (talk) 23:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed, COI itself is not a reason to delete. COI in connection with creating an autobiographical article for self-promotion and promotion of his company (at least twice) is. If he or his company become notable, someone will write an artcle. It just shouldn't be he or his employees.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:18, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
