Spammy piece about a non-notable financial advisor. Only 88 ghits none of which are particularly exciting, no evidence of notability in the article and totally irrelevant references - nothing to support a claim of notability. Fails WP:SPAM, WP:BIO, WP:N, WP:VER andy (talk) 13:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom as WP:RESUME with entirely unsourced claims. Only citation is a 10-minute interview with Nouriel Roubini, which doesn't mention Buss. No evidence of notability; no sources for the Buss info. / edg 15:54, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • commentI declined a previous prod on the article for being promotional--so it was, but I removed the promotional part. The author very unwisely has replaced most of it, using the article as a springboard for his stock market predictions.I have no real opinion about the notability. But the surest way to get unfavorable attention to an article is to insist on adding spam. DGG (talk) 19:05, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Written by SPA and reeks of self promotion. Drop kick this article right off Wikipedia (see author name). — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:52, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a self-promotion by an user of a single-purpose account who assumed ownership of the article. Alexius08 (talk) 02:43, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Deletion isn't punitive. The page should be deleted because there are apparently no sources about Mr. Buss. Wp:auto, wp:own and wp:spa are irrelevant here. 160.39.213.152 (talk) 03:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
