Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samuel Scott (businessperson)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. This has already been relisted twice, so I am closing this, but the "debate" suffered from a lack of participation, so no prejudice to a speedy re-nomination. I add that if this had been tagged for G11 I would likely have deleted it. Randykitty (talk) 13:45, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Samuel Scott is well-known in the tech and marketing area and published many articles concerning these topics (writing books isn't very popular in this field). Btw, Sjscott80 I think you mean "history" and not "talk page". Tec Tom (talk) 15:36, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV and WP:AUTOBIO. Cites to The Drum and AdWeek? Bearian (talk) 15:53, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. He looks like a subject-matter expert to me. WP:SNG could apply. His expertise appears to be in the area of digital advertising fraud. Because of his expertise, he appears to get cited or interviewed for articles on digital advertising fraud relatively often. The places that write about digital advertising fraud are themselves "tech niche" publications. The fact that apparently an involved/COI editor wrote the article is unfortunate and alienating, but doesn't really tell us whether the individual is or isn't notable.
