The citations are not self-published or adverts, the biography and author may be in violation of WP:COI, and requires significant rewrite for keeping. The author has repeatedly removed maintenance tags that indicate page issues and required improvements. A linked company information article, TMone, was deleted based on notability.

I am not the author of this article. Actually, I believe SusanBagel is the author. Furthermore, I deleted the maintenance tags because I worked on the problems with this page. If you have such a problem with this article, why don't YOU rewrite it? User:ICIntern —Preceding undated comment added 16:00, 8 July 2009 (UTC).

• Delete Reads as a vanity article for someone who's notability doesn't seem defined and the rash of SPAs editing this article worries me. treelo _radda 16:16, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

• Wow. Well, thanks ICIntern for editing our page. We appreciate the help, and know that any feedback is valuable. This article is still under construction. I started writing this page, with BillyBagel, as a class project about someone notable in our community, and we chose Marlowe because we are both business majors and he started a business from scratch at a very young age. We feel he is a good role model for people like us. We really don't understand why this article should be deleted, and a number of the issues that have been pointed out don't even really seem to apply. Any help improving this article is appreciated, as this is our first attempt at creating an article.SusanBagel

• So this article is the result of a class project? Hm. treelo _radda 17:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
• Yes, it is. Our professor wanted us to research young entrepreneurs, with a focus on their on-line presence. Instead of writing a boring paper about Marlowe, we thought we would try putting up a wikipedia article about him. You can contest our article but you cannot contest our integrity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SusanBagel (talk • contribs) 17:17, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

• In response to all the flags, we feel they are invalid for the following reasons:

Missing Citations—We have 9 citations with links as well as a further reading section Sources not from a third-party—All of our sources are from a third-party publication except for one which we found from the company website Neutrality—We wrote this article as unbiased as possible. This is just our first try at writing an article. If you find something that seems biased please let us know and we will be sure to fix it. Notability—As Susan mentioned earlier, Marlowe is a notable person in our community. He is also nationally recognized, see the awards section. Advertisement—I don’t know what we would be advertising Links from other articles—We did not add any links but we will work on it. Conflict of Interest and Autobiography—both claims are not valid seeing as we have no stake in the company and we are not Anthony Marlowe Self-Published Sources—As stated earlier our sources are from established news publications or are public information. We have not written anything ourselves. External Links—We don’t even know what this flag means.

We appreciate all the help and feedback with this article. We are new at this and it has been quite a learning experience. However, if you have concerns or decide to flag something please make it constructive and provide a specific explanation of what is wrong so we can remedy the situation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BillyBagel (talk • contribs) 17:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

• We have just added internal links from 3 other articles, and are working on adding more.
