PROD declined by article author. Article has been written by subject himself; subject doesn't appear to be meet notability guidelines (lack of independent sources, with the biggest claim to fame being the creator of a new and also non-notable organization). Article is also written in a promotional tone in regards to the subject's organization (TheDeafSociety). ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 18:46, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG WP:RS WP:COI. A baby picture? --Jersey92 (talk) 02:36, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:GNG - Claims of notability are not supported by reliable sources. General lack of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. - Taketa (talk) 13:00, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- WP:GNG. no reliable sources to back up claims. There should be reliable sources readily accessible on the web for such a recent organization. As an aside, in reference to !votes above, WP:COI and photos of the article subject at whatever stage of life are not good arguments at AfD.

Comment Understood. Fails WP:GNG WP:RS should be sufficient to support deleting this. To explain further: There simply aren't WP:RS to support the claims of notability in the article. --Jersey92 (talk) 05:06, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Besides being an obvious autobiography, I don't see anything but social networking sites. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:47, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG, more specifically WP:BIO, and even more specifically WP:ENT. And yes, it is also pretty close to having been speediable under G11. Wikipedia is is not for self-promotion. Valfontis (talk) 17:45, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
