Steve Clark (Wall-Street)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I had originally come across this article after a user had pointed me towards some legal documents that had some uncensored personal information in them. After looking at the article I was concerned over the tone, which had some potentially libelous information in it. I'd tagged it as an attack page and the speedy tag was removed by the article's creator, but also the information that was libelous. The remaining article is still a mess and there are concerns of this being a hoax. I have found some information such as a Linkedin account to where this may not be a hoax per se, but there is a pretty distinct lack of coverage in the article despite the claims of notability. I'm tempted to let this revert back to the speedy tag, but I would prefer this to run through AfD to solidify any claims of notability (or the lack thereof) or confirm that this is a hoax.

 * Note: There are some false positives coming up for other Steve Clarks such as an anti-OWS lobbyist, but there is a "SA Clark" on the NPI website, so again, maybe not a hoax but just a non-notable persona per our guidelines. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:04, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of evidence of notabiltiy. If not exactly an hoax, certainly a stretching of the truth: "7,782 patents", "9,522 industrial publications", "over 425 acquisition mergers" and "wealth calculated at US $17.3 billion dollars". &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
