Speedy was declined. Unsourced BLP of a non-notable businessman that fails WP:BIO. 3ghits (all wiki or mirrors), not surprisingly, zero gnews returns. Little more than an unsourced vanity page. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:08, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Snow delete. This is a borderline hoax. Aside from Niteshift36's points, the article for one of the supposed companies he founded, Emunahsoft, was speedily deleted only hours ago, and nowhere on the TransferPod website does it mention even his last name, thus providing no proof he even bought that domain.

Delete Per WP:SNOWBALL. This could have just been speedied. --Pstanton (talk) 19:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete I originally tagged it as speedy, and the creator removed it, then after I messed up the reversion Niteshift36 nominated as AfD - it could really still be Speedy. -- Boing! said Zebedee 19:56, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as insufficiently notable. I changed the CSD to a PROD so as to give the creator some time to cite the assertions of notability (bare minimum though they were). But since none can be found, seems like a clear failure to meet the WP:GNG. — Satori Son 20:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete Hoax, non-notable or spam. Whichever you like. Peridon (talk) 21:52, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, speedy was declined. Author has another article, Satheesh Kanchi, that is in speedy nom right now. He tried removing the speedy tag there too. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'd better let a different admin handle that one. ;-) Satori Son 23:34, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry, I hadn't seen the later decline - I must have been looking at an old version with just the initial removal and re-nom. -- Boing! said Zebedee

Speedy Delete per Peridon. Can't be verified in any way. Bearian (talk) 03:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clearly lacking evidence of notability in the article, and I couldn't find any despite the unusual name that makes searching easy. (I don't agree with the calls for speedy deletion. The bar for declining a speedy is much less than verifiable notability, just a plausible assertion of significance, which the article makes.) --RL0919 (talk) 14:07, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is my understanding of the CSD process as well. I was beginning to think things had changed while I was on break. — Satori Son 15:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. I did the CSD tagging, and I agree it was a mistake - AfD is the appropriate forum -- Boing! said Zebedee 15:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
