Draft:Mike Robbins


This promotional piece might qualify for G11, but it might not, because it might be considered ambiguous advertising, so let's delete it as Wikipedia is not for advertising, even advertising that almost passes for an encyclopedic draft.

The subject is not ipso facto notable because he did not play professional baseball at the highest professional level. This draft has no references, but isn't likely to pass general notability, and anyway we don't need this sort of buzzspeak. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:18, 27 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. "thought leader" is a great term for searching and deleting promotional drafts and userpages. Legacypac (talk) 02:25, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I consider this a reasonable G11 because (1) it promotes, AND (2) all sources are unacceptable sources for building content.  The sources are: Four books by the subject; the subject's website; the subjects facebook page; the subject's twitter page.  Point (2) means that the content cannot be used because it is all unreliable, not reliably sourced, meaning it meets the "would need to be fundamentally rewritten" clause of G11.  At best, WP:TNT applies.  He could be wikipedia-notable, but nothing on this page shows it, and it is hard to know given the multiple Mike Robbins-es.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per above. Clearly this article exists only to promote the subject. –eggofreasontalk 16:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
