Promotional article about a person who does not meet the General Notability Guideline. Sources within the article are typical of the 3 kinds of source I found while performing a WP:BEFORE search: 1) Articles about a house sale, 2) Press releases from companies, and 3) Passing mentions. None of these sources add to any claims of Notability for Wikipedia's purposes. Exemplo347 (talk) 08:53, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails GNG. This article is part of a cluster of edits I have been watching that bear all the hallmarks of COI or even paid editing (new SPA creates a company article with promotional and Copyvio material, links to it, and creates a promo article about the company's president). And no, I'm not suggesting that is a reason for deletion. Meters (talk) 21:59, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

- More and more highjinks. A new account is created. Minutes later he posts an OLD AFD tag on the article's talkpage claiming this AFD closed as KEEP, and then removes the AFD notice from the article. Then the article creator blanks the article and AFD notice, and, after the article is restored, requests a speedy deletion G7 AUTHOR REQUEST. Meters (talk) 05:59, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted that. You can't blank a page during an AfD discussion. @AnEditorNameA: - why don't you try participating in this discussion instead of acting like a child? Exemplo347 (talk) 09:03, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. hopelessly contaminated by paid editing ring. If there is any notability , it would have to be started over. DGG ( talk ) 05:45, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
