Delete. Per nom. In the course of working on articles about other Paul Millers, I tried a couple of times to find sources for this one and have not managed to find anything much that qualifies as substantial independent RS coverage. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:49, 24 November 2012 (UTC) Note: I corrected a couple of typos in this comment. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:16, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, well, I came across this after one of the major contributors posted a question at the Teahouse. I thought they should get at least a day or two to improve the article before I AfD'd it myself. But I agree with the nominator, I can't see anything of any substance online about Miller that is not directly related to him or his businesses. The article pretty much reads like a promotional online curriculum vitae! Sionk (talk) 23:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Arxiloxos. This person hosts a "monthly intranet media show". How is that notable? Sounds very ordinary to me. Bearian (talk) 20:04, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment

There is some evidence of notability. Looking at the two primary companies he founded: Intranet Benchmarking Forum and Digital Workplace Group (a roll-up of the first company plus other intranet companies). These appear to be the leading companies in their field (intranet benchmarking). He seems to be a leader and founder of this (small) industry. This could possibly get him in on WP:ANYBIO #2. The sources are the problem. I'll see what I can dig up but any help appreciated. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 21:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
