 * – ( View AfD View log )

Longtime unreferenced WP:BLP. CEO of a non-notable company. Appears to be the owner of a chain of Exxon gas stations and convenience stores. He's received a number of awards (e.g. "Exxon Excellence Award", "Lubricant Excellence Award") but I'm not convinced these constitute notability. Pburka (talk) 23:22, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Falls short of WP:GNG. Being successful isn't the same as being notable.  Dennis Brown (talk) 01:59, 15 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - The "Lubricant Excellence Award" is believed by some of the more extreme Wikipedia hobbyists as sufficient to connote notability in the field of PORNBIO, but I don't think that's gonna fly here. No opinion as to inclusion-worthiness. Carrite (talk) 02:02, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
