Scott Stanford (investor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Advertising article for a man whose career is literally advertising and the contributions and history here all show it, especially since none of it is anything else but a business job listing, consisting nothing but published and republished PR advertising and its quotes, none of which is convincing, and then in fact violates policy WP:SPAM and WP:NOT. This is also then clearly part of an advertising campaign to advertise both the company itself and its other businessman, with the contributions and history once again showing.

We couldn't conceivable merge anything because there's nothing in fact significant from his job or career, apart from, not only simply founding an advertising company, but then being working with another businessman, none of which inherits notability. Anything else, and I myself have searched, is still only published and republished PR, so that alone emphasize something that was unsurprising to begin with, regardless of publication name.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete -- a vanity page on an unremarkable business person. Wikipedia is not a resume hosting service. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:41, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Sherpa Capital, rather than deleting the page entirely.-- CaroleHenson (talk) 20:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect' per Carole, except that article is going to be deleted to. Anyway, few mentions in passing and the giant PR mill Techcrunch don't suffice for a bio. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:07, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Not even redirect to the firm. He is only one of their several investors, and therefore less notable than the company. . If the article for the firm is kept, it will be enough to mention him. We don't need a redirect from everyone mentioned in an article. Even the feeble Wikipedia search function   will find them.
