NN person. BLP completely fails RS / GNG. 2 primary, 1 non-RS, 1 self/primary = 0 RS . Scope of sources is also local. Widefox; talk 22:15, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep There are a ton of sources discussing the subject on Google news. Granted, most of them are local to Maine, but there are also a few from Powder and Ski magazines (if you look on Google Books). Because of that, I feel like the article meets WP:ANYBIO.

Which part of ANYBIO? I'm struggling to see what the BLP is notable for. Seems he ran a ski resort? (the lead first mentions the Maine Ski Hall of Fame which is appears circular referencing/primary source) Widefox; talk 11:14, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete' as advertising and only what a personal listing by him would ever say, regardless, and hence WP:GNG means nothing when WP:NOT in fact applies instead. SwisterTwister talk 05:09, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
