Samuel francis
Alledged non-notable CEO of non-notable Dinsdale 5th Avenue, above. Google can't verify the connection, but if his company isn't notable, and that's his biggest claim to fame, the he's not notable. Also may be self-promotion (User:Samueldfrancis might want to take portions of the article(s) to his User page). Niteowlneils 01:10, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hoax CEO of hoax company. Pburka 01:40, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Apparently a "web entrepeneur," if you know what I mean. No biography is warranted.  Even if his company were spectacularly successful, there would be no indication that his biography is.  Geogre 03:52, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I disagree with that statement, and so does Jeff Bezos. Founders of spectacularly successful companies are notable. But this individual is the founder of an unsuccesful nonexistent company. Pburka 14:19, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * If all Bezos did was found the company, he'd not deserve a biography. However, he has done quite a lot.  He has been one of the leading e-commerce cheerleaders, has innovated, has pioneered on-demand, etc.  He deserves a biography because his biography is interesting and because he is referred to as a person by other sources.  On the other hand, a man who hides in the shadows and runs things and just appears in trade magazines is famous only for the company, and only in the context of the company, and therefore would have his bio-article redirect to the company.
