Todd Harrison[edit]

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

A promotional article about the president of a media company. It's only editor is apparently an employee of the company, and therefore has a COI with the article. COI tags were placed by this editor and removed by the employee.

The majority of the references on the subject are from the company website, thereby failing WP:RELIABLE. Manway (talk) 03:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:N and WP:SOAP. Eddie.willers (talk) 14:40, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The problem is, the article still doesn't explain why Mr Harrison is notable. His past employers are of no relevance and his achievements are marginal - in terms of what he has contributed to his field. Eddie.willers (talk) 19:40, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Smerge to Minyanville. The reference spam in the article, after careful examination consists of directory listings, and articles he has written. As such, I don't see enough to establish a stand-alone article. -- Whpq (talk) 20:16, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Comment Please note that this page was deleted in the past. I have also posed the question that most of the editors are sockpuppets of Minyanalex. --Falcon Darkstar Momot (talk) 01:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable as can be seen by the quantity of refspam and lack of substantial reliable coverage. Article has also suffered from prolific editing from SPAs. Christopher Connor (talk) 01:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Puffery. From the lead: "In 2002, Harrison founded Minyanville, a community with the mission, "to effect positive change through financial understanding, from the ABC's to the 401(K)'s." Whatcha sellin', mate? Carrite (talk) 18:20, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this should be Deleted ASAP. Two things: As mentioned above, it is a recreated page. This is its second time around and it is no better this time. Second, a checkuser request shows either sockery or meatpuppetry going on. Minyanalex has at least 4 other names, all editing this article. That should put this firmly in the "no question" category for deletion. --Manway (talk) 15:25, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
