This person does not appear to meet the notability criteria. Prod removed by creator, who added sources, but not reliable independent sources. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I added two external sources. They are both profiles of Mitchell and company. These sources are similar to imdb profiles, which I am sure you accept. Btm1000 (talk) 16:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply. Have you read the reliable sources guidelines, as I suggested, yet? What is needed are articles about this person that were not written by this person or his employer; profiles that he has submitted to various web sites are not the kinds of sources that are needed. Instead, you need to add links to a few of the newspaper and magazine articles that have been written about him. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:41, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Brandon T. Mitchell (we can call him BTM for short) is an article created by User:Btm1000, who has also, in his short editing career, also helpfully added Brandon T. Mitchell to the list of Current and Former Notable students of Devon Preparatory School [1]. Amazing coincidence. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 16:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. It should be speedily deleted. No independent third-party reliable sources given. Dekisugi (talk) 16:43, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no notability and no independent verifiability. Mh29255 (talk) Mh29255 16:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Acknowledgement of conflict of interest If you want to delete it, be my guest. I'm being paid by his company for it either way.Btm1000 (talk) 16:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per above; likely the author is also the subject of the article. Website appears to be amateur, adding to the liklihood that this is self-promotion by the 17 year old subject of the article. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- He's promoting the South Langley Evangelical Fellowship? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Promoting himself and/or his website via this article. He admits that he's at least paid by the website creator above. I think that settles it unless other notability can be established. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete - admitted advertisement/spamming. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Pure advertising. ScarianTalk 17:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:BIO. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete this obvious advertisement. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 21:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I did not authorize anyone to make a wikipedia page for me. I apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused. Someone who had access to my computer came on and created the account which was used to create this article. Please delete the article.

- Snowball delete. The IP above resolves to Philidelphia, so it may well be the real Brandon Mitchell. Between that request, the lack of his having done anything that would let us presume notability, and the complete lack of reliable sources, I think this one is safe to delete a few days early.
