William Keith Maxwell III

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seemingly questionably notable and improvable CEO of a company (for which I'm separately nominating the article for, both companies in fact) as the best links I found were this and this. only simply protected the article from persistent vandalism but I'm not sure if he would've had any input and also only made two edits but I know she often comments at these articles regardless but there simply aren't any other outstandingly pingable users and lastly I know  will want to be notified of these subject AfDs.

 * Delete - When I protect, I don't check for quality, just the history, but had I looked at the actual content, I would have nom'ed myself as spam/vanity/etc. The uncited line "Maxwell has been praised by many who say his greatest asset as a leader is his flexibility." is particularly effective at padding the ego while not conveying any real information.

 * Comment' There's acleaner version from 2011  here.  we could revert to it. The spam sentence was added by an editor who did that edit and nothing more here, and has stayed in ever since. The edit history is a little unusual is many respects. I note, though, that the Ernst &Young award is given not to one person a year, but to about 10--see the article on it.  that award has been used for notability for about 100 people and companies; though some are indeed obviously notable, they  should most of them be checked.
