Shelley Rosen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

None of the links are reliable secondary sources. Gift biz, Burghard group and Tabletop journal are blogs, KPLC and Kurman are press releases, vimeo, linkedin and corporate website are primary sources and the BBB interview is a puff piece. This has all the hallmarks of a promotional piece about someone who's job is marketing brands. fails WP:GNG Domdeparis (talk) 11:09, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep While writing this article about Shelley Rosen, I believed she met the notability guidelines for Wikipedia, as she is a successful CEO who recently launched a new, innovative product. She is the moving force behind the success of Luxe Bloom, and has been written up sufficiently in the press to merit her own article. However, I admit that I am still in the learning stages of writing articles, and I mistakenly left out from my list of sources the article from the Chicago Business Journal (http://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/news/2017/02/03/disney-teams-with-chicagos-luxe-bloom-for-beauty.html), where I first read about her, so I just added that source to the article. My inclination would be to leave the article up on Wikipedia as an example of a successful woman CEO, which I have read is a goal of Wikipedia, and continue adding to the article and looking for more legitimate sources to establish her notability. When I read about the criteria needed to nominate an article for deletion, it seems that, at least according to Wikipedia, an article is only nominated for deletion after a lot of research is done to prove that the article is really not Wiki-worthy. Please see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion. I believe that level of vetting has not really happened here. A discussion on the Talk page on how to incorporate Shelley Rosen into Wikipedia would be a better course of action than an AfD discussion.Sparadigm (talk) 10:30, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment As the nominee I most certainly did follow the procedure and could find nothing note about the subject herself. The source that you cited is about her company and only mentions her in the last sentence as being the founder. Notability is not inherited, the company may be notable but the article is about its founder and the sources you have provided are not sufficient to prove her notability and nothing turned up during my "vetting" does either so a discussion on the talk page would have been futile IMHO. As I said this looks like a promo piece to promote the person's personal brand. I hope this clears up your questions. Domdeparis (talk) 10:43, 21 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete as promotional and rewrite in NPOV style. Deb (talk) 16:06, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
