The Scholar Athlete Academy by Ben Summers[edit]

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

This article is about a sports training academy/company that has no significant coverage in reliable sources. The sole reference in the article is a press release, and there is no other coverage that I am able to find to establish notability. Note that there is a related AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Benjamin Daniel Summers. Whpq (talk) 15:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article fails to meet primary criteria for notability of companies of significant coverage by independent sources (WP:COMPANY#Primary_criteria). Article's source consists only of company's own press release with an external link to company's website. Searching the web, I only find the same company press release. —Bagumba (talk) 18:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. My research reached the same conclusions as Whpq's and Bagumba's--no indicia of notability here.--Arxiloxos (talk) 01:55, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not a free advertising site.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No independent verifiable sources to establish notability. It's based on a press release issued by the subject. Appears to be promotion of the subject. Cbl62 (talk) 19:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Per Paul McDonald and Cbl62, delete self-promotion. – Muboshgu (talk) 12:50, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
