Puffed-up autobiography of a person whose claim to fame is that he once acted as a proxy bidder in a notable art auction. He was quoted in the press because of this one incident, but still misses notability standards by a longshtot. Dawn Bard (talk) 14:16, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Autobiography of a non-notable person. The only reliable, third-party sources that could even come close to showing notability are for a single event where he was quoted as a participant in an auction. As per WP:NOTTEMPORARY, "In particular, if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual." Perhaps Emling will be notable in the future, but nothing posted (repeatedly) by Emling has shown notability now.Stesmo (talk) 18:34, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
