The result was speedy delete‎ under CSD:G11. The combination of absence of SIGCOV and a disruptive COI author rule out soft-deletion. Owen× ☎ 21:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable business person. WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBIO are not met. The only coverage, which deals with the subject as a primary topic, is this interview piece in the regional Wexford People newspaper. And is a form of WP:INTERVIEW which doesn't contributed to notability. The only other independent coverage I can find are trivial passing mentions like this or this court proceeding. The other "references" in the article are not independent and/or do not support the text regardless. In many cases making NO MENTION WHATEVER of the subject. And representing a form of WP:REFBOMBing. These "references" certainly do not support a claim to notability. (Like this page from the Wicklow County Council website - which makes ZERO mention of the subject and cannot POSSIBLY be read as supporting the text it is placed alongside). The BLPSources and Peacock concerns, raised by Liz, were simply ignored and the tags removed. The other issues (PROMO/COI/PAID/etc) are so obvious and galling that I was initially tempted to consider SPEEDY or PROD. However, discussion and clear community consensus is probably required...

Comment. While the article's creator has (repeatedly) removed the related AfD tag before this discussion was closed, these changes have been reverted/corrected by a bot. If the creating editor, Michael Eamon Herbst, believes that the article meets the applicable criteria (and should be retained), then their contributions are welcome here. In the discussion. Removing the link to the AfD discussion, before the discussion has closed, is not the correct means of advocating for retention. Guliolopez (talk) 19:24, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. This should have been nominated for speedy delete. This nonnotable man created a Wikipedia article about himself and his business. Delete per WP:AUTOBIO, WP:PROMO, WP:COI, WP:GNG . . . the list goes on. Nothing in that article indicates notability for encyclopedic coverage. The sources do not meet standards for what is considered reliable and valid. In fact, they include the creator/subject's own primary sources. The person in question also cheats by repeatedly deleting the AfD notice on the article, but that is a separate issue. Doczilla _{Ohhhhhh, no!} 21:13, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
