Steven Ericsson-Zenith

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This almost reads like a resume, with no sources that are not self published. The non-encyclopedic tone is perhaps best summed up by the end of the article, which mentions his purported Wikipedia username. Kansan (talk) 06:07, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ericsson-Zenith's role at IASE suffices to clear the WP:PROF notability hurdle. The "resume" and "sources" issues can be resolved via editing.  As per WP:ATD, "If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion."  The page needs work, but doesn't meet the criteria at WP:DEL to qualify for deletion.  However, it could probably be stubbed. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 02:30, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. His company seems on the WP:FRINGE side to me rather than being a famous research institution so I think he is not automatically notable for being its principal investigator; rather, WP:GNG should apply, and I don't see any significant coverage of him in Google news archive, only some short coverage of a different company he founded for fielding complaints. As for academic notability, he'd need significantly higher numbers of citations than I'm seeing in Google scholar to pass the bar of WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:55, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * PS I have taken Institute for Advanced Science & Engineering to AfD as well as I see no evidence that it is sufficiently notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:10, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Please delete this article. It is awful. From the beginning it has been factually incorrect, it takes an improper place in search results when people search for my name. I certainly do not warrant coverage in an encyclopedia of any kind (but then few living scientists do, in my view). It has, however, served these past years to entertain and to enable me to illustrate to people how very wrong Wikipedia can be. --Steven Zenith (talk) 02:40, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete on request of subject. Few cites on GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:30, 2 May 2011 (UTC).
