Benjamin barrick

Declined CSD. (In fact, I deleted it myself under A7 and then placed a tag to get another admin's opinion; it was declined.) I don't see notability asserted in this article (senior VP of a company on the INC 500 doesn't cut it; other claims are grasping). Even so, whether it's asserted or not, the speedy has now been declined, so we move to determination of consensus on whether or not the subject is notable. I've looked for indications of such and cannot find any. (As always, I can be convinced.) Frank | talk 03:33, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that notability is not inherited. There are at least two references in the article which merely mention the company Mr. Barrick works for but don't include any content that refers to him at all. Not being mentioned in an article about a company that doesn't have an article in Wikipedia (and doesn't appear notable enough for same) is not a means of gaining notability sufficient for inclusion in the project.

Delete Checking the references in the article, either the subject is not mentioned at all, is mentioned in passing, or the references are themselves not from a reliable source. There does not appear to be any extensive, reliable, independent coverage as required by WP:N and WP:BIO guidelines. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:47, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As the admin who declined the Speedy, the article makes claims to importance/significance thus is not a speedy candidate, but in the current form, I don't see it meeting WP:N. I am willing to reconsider if new information/coverage is provided.---I'm Spartacus! ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 06:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no significant coverage in third-party sources as required by WP:BIO. Most of the references cited do not mention the subject or give very trivial coverage, and I was not able to find any better ones. Hut 8.5 10:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see nothing to satisfy WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 19:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I wouldn't be surprised if this the same person as User:Benbarrick, who was one of a few users that attempted to astroturf articles about DVS in the past (see a related AfD). Still no notability per WP:BIO. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
