::::I think what is making you upset here is a conflict of interest [[WP:COI]]. I have now noticed that both you and the subject of the article live in the same town. And to be honest with you, the article [[List of people from Teaneck, New Jersey]] should not exist and neither should about half the articles on that list.

- Keep A founder of The Learning Annex is a credible claim of notability and there are sources in the article, yet all he nominator can come forth with is an assertion of "Not notable. Fails WP:BIO." I knew about Zanker, but anyone who didn't could look at the line that says "Find sources" and click on "news" or "HighBeam", both of which bring up dozens of articles about Zanker -- a serial entrepreneur who's been in the press for decades -- in reliable and verifiable sources. This is one more in a string of AfDs by a nominator who appears to demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of WP:BEFORE. Based on this pattern of evidence, I think it's past time to topic ban User:Rusf10 from AfD, and certainly from nominating any further articles. Alansohn (talk) 23:16, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- We already have an article on the Learning Annex that covers this. There are some legitimate problems with this article. His various side projects/websites are not notable. And please stop the personal attacks. Wikipedia:AFDEQ I could fill in the sentence "If it was up to me Alan Sohn would be...", but I'll refrain from doing so.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:09, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
