William Eivind Hall[edit]

Problematic BLP created by a long-term disruptive editor. This page has been deleted thrice and survived an AfD as "no consensus" last year. The AfD didn't take the long term disruption into account though (since they probably weren't aware of it). The page has been created by an editor User:J341933, now blocked, and further enhanced by a sock of his, User:Wariswronggodisfaith, also blocked.

The background to and evidence of this disruption has been explained at WP:AN#Very slow but long-term disruption. The BLP currently up for deletion has a few specific problems, apart from a general lock of notability: for starters, I can't find a reliable source that actually gives his middle name, Eivind, so we don't even know if Bill Hall and William Eivind Hall are the same person. Further: his Bronze Star was sourced to usarmyregistry.org, but that is a user-submitted site, not an official army or government site. His entry has since been blanked. There seems to be no further evidence for this Bronze Star. In light of the dubious origins of this BLP, his limited notability, and the ongoing harassment and vandalism, I propose that we again delete this article.

keep CEO of Parsons is notable, & we need an article on the company also. . That the article may be difficult to maintain is not a reason for deletion. 'DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 19:53, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
