At User talk:Drmies#Reaching the decision at the Semil Shah AfD, the closing administrator declined to "transparently explain how the decision was reached." Please undelete for review as there are sources in the article. A quick analysis of the !vote count shows that there was a split between WP:DEL8 and WP:DEL14, and a keep !vote. I think this is a fairly easy review to relist, although I also suggest attention to the point that it is important for all AfDs to know the WP:DEL-REASON, to know if the deletion was a notability deletion, or if the deletion also had content criteria.

It's an incredibly clear AfD, and Unscintillating's insistence on being explained the obvious is close to harassment. I invite anyone to look at the AfD, and then to look at Unscintillating's comments on my talk page; feel free to peruse the archives as well. Then, look at Unscintillating's keep votes, what they consider reliable sources, and how they think notability is established. It's a volatile mix of disruption and incompetence, and I'm not playing their game anymore. In the meantime I'll restore the article, gladly, for y'all.

It was deleted for both reasons - the individual fails the appropriate notability guideline, abjectly, and the article is transparent spam. Did you even look at the article, or its sources, or the afd? —Cryptic01:52, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse, no other way this could have been closed. I could understand asking the closing admin to clarify a close if it's a contentious close call, but this one was extremely clear-cut. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind04:28, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse Consensus was clear, and in accordance with policies and guidelines. The stated goal of companies like S&P Capital IQ (main source for the deleted article) is to comprehensively and indiscriminately crank out a profile of every single senior corporate executive under the sun. Such an indiscriminate directory listing cannot confer notability on Wikipedia, unless there is consensus that all senior corporate executives are notable. Such consensus simply does not exist.
