Bob, I am not Brad Hines, I work within Yum Domains. When I signed "Hines" it was a joke as you had implied I was in the previous posting. That article in the USA Today was written in the first place because Brad Hines suggested it. You can call up Jon Schwartz the editor at the USA Today and verify this.

The other thing to consider is the fact that as time goes on this entry will only become more valid as Mr. Hines gains credibility. I blanked the page to start over as I had screwed up my HTML. Also please note I am new to wikipedia.

Please check the entries for both Mark Zuckerberg and Bob Parsons. Anyone can see both these entries are very similar. There is little information on the domain industry on wikipedia. It's people like me that will build this and change it, please help me work together with you folks to make it solid information.

Respectfully,

Gordon Brown 'Utzchips"--Utzchips 02:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC) This article has been created approximately 12 different times, and deleted each time. The earliest delete seems to have been in April. The article appears to me to be autobiographical, as the author at one point signed his name "HINES" on a talk page - however, I have asked him if he is Brad Hines, and he has neither confirmed nor denied it. The links the author gives do not seem to support notabilty. (He was quoted in one line of a story in USA Today, but the article was not about him. The other links are, I believe, mainly about the industry he is in rather than the person himself). An independent search also has not turned up anything notable about this person, and it's my belief that he is therefore not notable. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

As an update, the author has now blanked the page, so this may be a moot point. However, please feel free to leave comments. --TheOtherBob 01:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is now un-blanked, so please ignore my previous comment. --TheOtherBob 01:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:V and WP:BIO. Yes, it's him: he says so on one of the variant images he uploaded for the article (Image:Mef.jpg ("I, the author of this work...") Ultimately, though, that doesn't matter so much as its unverifiability and failure of our biographical guidelines: '"Brad Hines" entrepreneur' gets only 54 google hits.

Delete failing the verifiability and biography guidelines, and salt the article space. NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 02:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
