This article is promotional, even after two attempts at cleaning it up. I also see no claim to notability other than his website, which does not have its own page. The current sourcing is hardly third party, and I could not find any good independent sourcing for this article. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 16:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to know which sections you feel are advertisements. I will edit the page, to the standards that are set if there was more specific changes that need to be made. there are 3rd party references that show his credibility as a market maker and an influence on options trading techniques.

Please report back on what needs to be updated or edited before this page is deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JessQ (talk • contribs) 26 July 2010 — JessQ (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete Non-notable. Google News search for Price Headley finds plenty of hits, but they are all for a different person, an owner of racehorses. I could find absolutely no independent sourcing about this person. The claim that he was inducted into the Traders Hall of Fame is true, though there's no indication that this is a notable award. The claim that he was "named the top stock market timer by Timer Digest" is exaggerated; he was the top person listed in one of several categories, and again, there's nothing to indicate this recognition is significant. Obvious conflict of interest by the article's creator, User:Bigtrends (the name of Headley's company); that ID is currently blocked indefinitely for violation of username policy. --MelanieN (talk) 03:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. I'm feeling a big-time conflict of interest here concerning the article's creator. Also, there's a strong reek of WP:VSCA about this as I can't find any substantial sources. Eddie.willers (talk) 01:34, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Advertising, making unreferenced claims about how this person can help you make money: Headley is best known for his use of both technical and sentiment indicators to form an analysis of where the next major breakout is likely to occur. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
