Stephen Munson

 * – ( View AfD View log )

After examining the available references, it appears that this article fails WP:GNG. No independent reliable sources have written anything of substance about Munson. The only coverage Munson gets in the press is in relation to his lawsuit with Vulcan. Vulcan is now a subsidiary of another company and does not appear to be notable on its own. Though not a deletion criterion, note this article may have started as an attack page, and later may have become an autobiography. It has been edited by a number of single-purpose accounts.

 * Delete. Cursory search only brings up passing mentions. tedder (talk) 04:24, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The references mentioned on the article, even if they only discuss Munson in passing, are evidence that his actions have been noteworthy and that portions of his life and work have been seen as such by reputable entities.   dci  &#124;  TALK   23:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * What references would those be? The way I see it, there are three that might qualify under WP:V. thedeal.com simply mentions Munson while talking about his company. capebretonpost.com doesn't even mention him, and gradient.com is a press release that simply quotes him. Did I miss something? tedder (talk) 00:32, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
