Stan Smith (economist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This one may or may not be notable per WP:PERSON, but the fact that it was entirely substantially written by —likely the subject himself—and —an IP owned by the subject—makes me uneasy. I say delete on the account of WP:AUTOBIO. bender235 (talk) 16:38, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment It is misleading to say that he wrote his own bio. Looking at Revision history statistics, although he accounts for nearly a third (32.9%) of the edits to the page, he accounts for less than 7% of the content. The entirety of his contributions are modest and are accounted for by two editing burst 1 & 2) and a (single edit). Even including the IP shows he has just over half the edits (54.3%), but only 13.6% of the content.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:03, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
