no actual evidence of notability for this magazine writer. Highly promotional article, emphasizing quotations from PR sources on his merits  DGG ( talk ) 04:01, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment Possible Keep as WP:CREATIVE #3, founder and editor of ENTREE travel magazine with 12,000 subscribers and 30+ years old, it has been reviewed in Chicago Tribune, NY Times, NY Times, LA Times. Found excerpts it was reviewed in Travel & Leisure and Vogue but can't find links. Nobel Prize nomination is rich since anyone can nominate, if the judges consider the nomination is sealed for 50 years. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 06:24, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks suspiciously like a vanity page. None of the sources indicate sufficient notability. --  Ohc  ¡digame!¿que pasa? 09:17, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It is obviously vanity but looking beyond content issues which can be fixed. I thought about editing it but wanted to give others a chance to possibly investigate the claims for notability. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 15:17, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd chopped out a bit of spam: I;d encourage anyone who sees potential value here to hack away. Also, re this "chevalier" thing: the link goes to the wrong place, but is the article claiming the subject is really a member of the Legion of Honour? A Google search for "Légion d'honneur" and "William Tomicki" yields zip, I see. If this is a flat-out lie, I may owe the nominator an even bigger apology.

 * Well that claim is unsourced (and uncertain) - we can't hold the topic of the article personally responsible to the poor quality of whoever wrote the article. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:47, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Quite right. The article hasn't been tagged as an autiobio page and I make no such claim. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:50, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:ANYBIO. My searches turned up nothing significant, and I too found no reference for the Légion d'honneur claim. -- Trevj (talk) 12:15, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
