Stackell[edit]

Nomination for deletion

Vanity bio with dubious claims to "business magnate" status and political ambitions. Fails WP:BIO, WP:VAIN. Only working reference link is to a NYTimes article about this individual's glandular tumour condition when growing up (which is not a new or unique condition). This article has been contributed to by only 2 editors[1] - one a single purpose account, the other an anonymous IP belonging to Lehigh University, the same school the subject is said to have attended[2].

Also, I am nominating near-duplicate article: Zachary Alexander Stackell. Its a slightly longer article (I just noticed it, that's why its the 2nd nom), with a bit about a supposed "Stackell Foundation" and his supposed company "NuMbiZ World Enterprises". This is the website for those organizations. These fail WP:CORPand WP:V. I ran a Factiva search with his name (with and without middle name) and the only hit was the NYTimes glandular tumour article. I could not find the 9/11 article referenced in the broken link in the article[3]. I sympathize with the person for his medical problems and wish him the best of luck with his entrepreneurial and political ambitions, but this article content is not suitable for Wikipedia Bwithh 21:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. (Note: I made two edits to Stackell to remove a broken link and format the only valid one.) A guest article in Time magazine is this person's sole claim to notability. All the other supposed enterprises appear to be largely web-based creations, making the stuff about "heavily involved in politics and real estate tradings" sound like a future plan, not a current reality. None of this information comes from a reliable source, and much of it sounds like standard vanity material written by the subject. Like Bwithh, I wish him luck in his ventures, but Wikipedia articles about him are quite premature. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as vanity and nn. Good luck to him becoming a notable person though. Themindset 22:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
