Extensive article giving background of a portfolio manager and his upbringing. Just doesn't seem notable though. Oscarthecat (talk) 21:40, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant"  Chzz  ►  03:27, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Spammy spammy spam spam about a non-notable person. Ironholds (talk) 03:57, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It appears that he did hold a national radio show for a while. See "The Damon Vickers Show ... Vickers discusses the numbers from Wall Street as the markets open and delivers the latest business and financial news. Love him or hate him, the stock prognosticator is always ready to push your buttons." D'Alessandro, Gene (December 28, 2001). "Hear This!". The Philadelphia Inquirer. In my opinion that's good enough. He also seems to be quoted from time to time in various forms of media, forming enough of a baseline to build a neutral, verifiable article even if the current one is spammy. Sampling of his appearances:
    • "It feels like we have an extinction event going on," says Damon Vickers, who runs hedge fund Nine Points Capital Partners. Elstein, Aaron (October 13, 2008). "Banks bloodied in Wall St. panic; Loss of confidence hammers leading financial institutions". Crain's New York Business. p. 1. Not much, but it does validate the claim that he runs a hedge fund.
    • According to Lexis-Nexis he was also interviewed by KIRO-TV on October 6, 2008 (Email me to see a transcript if you don't have access)
    • He appeared, albeit briefly, on FoxNews [1]
    • "Damon Vickers, telecommunications analyst at Janssen/Meyers, said WorldCom was willing to pay a hefty price for MCI because it believes a combination would bring more revenue opportunities." [2] Again not much, but it's CNN and it allows us to confirm another detail about his biography.
    • "She suggests to her client, Damon Vickers, chief equity strategist for Equigrowth Advisors, an investment company with $15 million under management, that he may find solutions in his subconscious." Strange, but yet another appearance. [3]
