Promotional article for a local college personality of questionable notability. Significant WP:COI of late, as the article creator and major editors have been blocked for sockpuppetry. Google news search on "Johnathan James Recor" shows zero results. Standard search shows primarily social media, blogs, unreliable and/or primary sources. Some minor coverage from the school paper, but no significant coverage found from independent reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

• Strong Delete No indication of notability and no significant independent coverage. Strong possibility article is autobiographical--certainly there's a COI. Papaursa (talk) 00:06, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
• Delete Article is self-promotion. Even if everything in it is true, I don't see how he's notable. It also lacks good independent sources. Mdtemp (talk) 15:06, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
• Keep The article has independent sources with minor notability, is cultured with Dartmouth College, and through the page's controversial history has demonstrated a potential to prove itself if written properly. User:dartbeat (talk) 13:09 6 November 2011 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Clearly not notable; blatant self-promotion and meat puppetry (see http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Sun-God/155670074870?sk=wall) --129.170.94.158 (talk) 21:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Wikipedia appears to be the final frontier of JJR's blatant self-promotion (Google 'JJRecor'). Although everything in the article is accurate, the page is essentially a personal webpage and violates multiple line items on the 'What Wikipedia is not' page. Also, sockpuppetry.

  • Note: the rampant socking is not a reason to delete. Rich Farmbrough, 03:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC).
    

• Strong Delete Definitely a personal vanity page. Recor is actually campaigning on his own Facebook page for his friends to vote against deletion of this article. It is clear that this article is an autobiography. Recor does not meet the notability qualifications, and is hardly considered notable even at Dartmouth. -Bonus Onus (talk) 06:14, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
