Sylvester Braithwaite
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I originally nominated this article for deletion in September of last year, with notability concerns. I still have them, particularly as the article has been mostly untouched since the AFD closed (I see two edits that weren't by a bot or a user using popups). The COI, which I was wholly unaware of last time, seems to still be an issue, and that user has exactly three edits since the last AFD closed. He (and others) have had plenty of time to improve the article, and it hasn't been. I just feel that this article really shouldn't be. Nosleep break my slumber 23:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources seem to exist that cover him in detail. I would say "nobody cares", but that seems to be the attitude towards almost any article that isn't currently on its way to GA. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 23:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is no coverage of significance to establish notability. The three newspaper items referenced are unconvincing.  Speaking at a girls scout jamboree appears to be a mention in a larger article about the jamboree.  The same goes for speaking at the elementary school.  The university article is quating his son Martin extolling the virtues of Sylvester Braithwaite which is not exactly independent and pushed out over university wire. -- Whpq (talk) 13:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No Vote - I wrote some of this article originally (I'm Justin Braithwaite) and haven't improved it because I thought that any edits would be a conflict of interest. I would like the chance to improve the article; to make it worthy to be on wikipedia. Nonameplayer (talk) 03:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The most serious deficiency is that of coverage about the subject in reliable sources to provide verifiability, and notability. -- Whpq (talk) 12:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
