Woody Woodward (businessman and author)

Part of a four article walled-garden. This was prodded as being promotional over a month ago but the prod was recently disputed. The subject fails our general notability guideline because he has not received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. This article claims that he is notable for originating the Law of Importance, Emotional fingerprint and I-ology but those corresponding articles are also at AfD.

Weak keep. Woodward himself looks marginally notable based on the sources and coverage on the article, although his theories probably won't past muster. Stifle (talk) 19:35, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The four references cited are two books by Woodward (not sure why the second one lists a different author?), a blog, and a video-sharing site. None qualify as reliable third-party sources. Cnilep (talk) 20:05, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
