Anthony Ulwick[edit]

Businessman of dubious notability. Was tagged as a candidate for speedy deletion, contested at Wikipedia:Speedy deletions#Anthony Ulwick, then tagged for proposed deletion, which was removed without moving the article here. So, now, listing for a proper deletion consideration. Stormie 04:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. CEO of a well-established company, and author of two books - both which appear on Amazon.com. A simple Google search of his name receives 11,300 hits, and a similar search of his company turns up about 5,000 more. tmopkisn ^tlka 04:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment but only 163 unique Google hits on him and 358 on Strategyn. The Amazon sales ranking for the book mentioned in the article is 14,359. -- H·G (^words/_works) 04:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. No one said that voting had to be completetely unbiased =] tmopkisn ^tlka 05:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This book is ranked 5,168. This is actually really high; even 14,359 is pretty high. —Centrx→talk • 23:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per WP:BIO, "published authors ... who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work." According to amazon, his book has been favorably reviewed by other authors as well as executives at Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Motorola, etc. Scorpiondollprincess 16:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Current article is just an ad - look at the number of tags on it! Best to delete and start again. Dlyons493 Talk 00:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete obvious ad. JChap (talk • contribs) 01:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand - WP:BIO is satisfied, but the content is really light. Torinir _{( Ding my phone} _{My support calls} _{E-Support Options )} 01:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In addition to the popular book(s) and the company, he apparently has been a speaker at a few conferences and him and his book are mentioned in third-party sources. —Centrx→talk • 00:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the guy's book is notable but he is not. BlueValour 04:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
