Speedy deletion nomination of Jeff McCormick

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Jeff McCormick, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Jeff McCormick

Your recent edits to Jeff McCormick do not show that reliable sources cover McCormick beyond a single event (the 2014 election). If you can find sources unrelated to McCormick (i.e. his campaign website and Saturn Partners' website) that show that he has done something else notable, then I will withdraw the nomination. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 03:31, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Edits

Hello,

I made significant edits and expanded on Mr. McCormick's Hall of Fame lacrosse career. Please consider withdrawing nomination.

Lacrosse Career

Receiving an alumni award from one's college and being inducted into a regional Hall of Fame do not meet the notability standards for college athletes. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 04:20, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Lacrosse

Actually the edits do qualify. The article states: "College athletes and coaches are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics," Mr. McCormick is a notable businessman. He has received significant media coverage as result of being a businessman. You can find this coverage within the sources in the article. Mr. McCormick was frequently covered in the Boston Business Journal. Furthermore, as I write, his company, invested in Constant Contact and Boston Duck Tours. In my opinion, Mr. McCormick's unique attributes of being a lacrosse star, business mogul and gubernatorial candidate qualify him as notable. Please consider. Thank you.
