Non-notable real estate developer. Has received some newspaper coverage, but not sufficient to meet WP:BIO in my opinion. Article is total puffery, including some paragraphs copied verbatim from the company website; those things could be fixed if the subject was notable but IMO he is not.

- Comment: It's possible the article was speedy-deleted in January 2011, based on a comment on the creator's talk page; I can't find any evidence one way or the other. BTW the same creator also wrote an article about this subject's daughter (she does appear to be notable, barely) and some of her co-workers. --MelanieN (talk) 04:21, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The article was mistakenly put into article space, and was moved back to userspace. What was deleted was the redirect left as a result ot the move to userspace. The article itself does not appear to have been speedied. I've declined the speedy request on the daughter as that article doesn't strike me as promotional enough to be speedied. There are claims of notability there that I think pass A7, as well. Peridon (talk) 10:04, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the clarification. I agree about the daughter. She has won a notable prize and thus probably deserves an article - although it sounds like it was written by a PR person, as it may well have been. If someone wants it deleted, it should be via an AfD. --MelanieN (talk) 14:43, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Clear vanity. EEng (talk) 05:44, 23 June 2012 (UTC) Upon some of Cato's friends expressing their surprise, that while many persons without merit or reputation had statues, he had none; he answered, "I had much rather it should be asked why the people have not erected a statue to Cato, than why they have." -- "Cato", Encyclopedia Brittanica (1797)[reply]

- Delete Appears to be a vanity page. Not quite eligible for {{speedy}}, but clearly not encyclopedic. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:58, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
