Peter Castellana III[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable businessman, with no significant coverage online in WP:RS. His NY supermarket chain Western Beef is just about notable enough for an article, but WP:Notability is not inherited, and he fails WP:BIO. Unusually, this article was moved for a time to Peter Castellana Jr., current subject's father, who won an award and had some controversial allegations made against him: [1]. Latest edits include a move back to current title, and a close-up photo of Castellana III uploaded as "own work" by an account whose work to date has a strong whiff of paid editing. The COI puffery can be fixed, but the notability problem will remain. The Mighty Glen (talk) 17:45, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - more than happy to get rid of this. Deb (talk) 18:12, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-notable. There are four sources: his company; his holding company; his family foundation; and a passing mention in The Real Deal; together, they add up to nothing. Notability of Western Beef is very questionable too. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:32, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Looking at the history, I just want to add that I moved the page to Peter Castellana, Jr last year because it was apparent that only the father had any claim to notability. I amended the article accordingly and added some references. User:M3diaguide removed many of these and made the article focus on the son again. There is an obvious COI here and it needs to be salted after deletion. Deb (talk) 10:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
