The result was delete. Though a citation from Blade magazine has been promised, it doesn't seem to have actually been found. As Mike said, this article has had three years, plus the seven days since being nommed for deletion. Consensus shows that, although there may be one citation somewhere, as it stands now this article should be deleted.

Your own administrator posted this: Hello and thank you for participating in Wikipedia. It looks like you got a pretty rough welcome! The standard mantra is Don't bite the newbies but that's theory and not always practice. But it looks like you've survived the onslaught and so has your article on Finney Ross. As an administrator, I am able to delete articles (and undelete them, even deleted articles are available to administrator accounts and deletion can be overturned) and in my evaluation, the article did not deserve deletion. But as I noted, it needed cleanup the the tone was inappropriately glorifying. User Dominik92 (talk · contribs) has already done an extensive cleanup: he has removed much of the material but this does not mean that you can't re-add it if you do so carefully and if you make sure that the article remains neutral in tone. Also, it's always good to make sure that most (if not all) of the material included is properly sourced so that it can be verified by other readers. I've also added categories to the article, which means there's a greater chance that others will access it and possibly help in its development. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson (talk) 19:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC) I apologize if I seem a little brash, but Mike, unless you have gone to the library and gone through micro films, you have not done the research needed for this article. You have merely searched the internet. Not everything of importance is on the internet, although I know of plenty of people that firmly believe that if it's not on the internet, it didn't exist or happen. Mike, I appreciate you being a cutlery aficinato, but you are far from a vintage rodeo expert. So to the point: Do I go to the libraries and print out all the stories about him, then scan them (along with all the info and pictures that I have) and post them on this article? Someone PLEASE just tell me in simple English, how to go about doing this? Thanks, T. Kiefer Davis Vintagedirtbiker (talk) 14:19, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You state: "As far as having to go look up microfilm or microfiche, that really does raise questions of notability."
Nothing NEW has been written about thousands of notable people. But they are still here on Wikipedia.
Like I stated, this was the 50's, 60's and 70's. So a few minutes ago, I went to the Houston Post where he was written about for 20 years, and it's been absorbed into the Houston Chronicle. I went to their site to pull up archived stories and it will only allow you to search back to 1985. http://search.chron.com/chronicle/archiveSearch.do Same with the Dallas Morning News and many more major and minor newspapers around Texas and Oklahoma.
I understand your hesitation about his knife business as he did not have a long legacy in that venue. But as far as the R.C.A. is concerned, I will not relent.
I was there during his entire leathersmithing career. From the first saddle's presented to Casey Tibbs for "All 'Round Cowboy" in 1951 to Jim Shoulders when Jim won his first "All 'Round Cowboy" championship in 1956 (and a slew of others) including Larry Mahan who is still living and speaks of Ross's works to this day. Many of the old cowboys inducted into the Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame demanded Ross's works. Do we need letters from them?
The most famous picture of Jim Shoulders, shows Ross's bull rope, flank strap and chaps made for Jim. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.paregien.net/Articles/Shoulders-Jim/1957-Shoulders-Jim%252002.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.paregien.net/Articles/Shoulders-Jim/JimShoulders.html&usg=__l6krVrrMauUL2XgiZezn4UjULeY=&h=359&w=300&sz=37&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=AXywvnh0AxHLpM:&tbnh=122&tbnw=104&ei=LESfTcq5LcPPiALN4rjxAg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Djim%2Bshoulders%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26rlz%3D1T4GGLJ_enUS248US248%26biw%3D1166%26bih%3D500%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Divns&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=578&oei=LESfTcq5LcPPiALN4rjxAg&page=1&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=78&ty=91
Scroll down and you'll see Jim on Ross's bareback saddle and flank strap. (Not to be confused with a saddle bronc saddle).
See Ross's works and chaps on "Tornado" when Freckles Brown rode the un-ridable bull in 1967 with a score of 99.
The list is endless from Oklahoma to Texas for 30 years. Even making chaps and protective breast plates for famous "Clowns" (today known as bull-fighters in the rodeo arena) such as Jacko Garrett. Garrett was the only clown in the R.C.A. known to protect his fallen rider by jumping body first onto the face of the bull, wrapping his legs around the bulls nose and his arms around the bulls neck. This action caused the full weight of Garrett to be hanging from the bulls head, which tired the bull in a matter of seconds.
Ross was also a prolific rancher raising prized Polled Herefords (Herefords with no horns) and Quarter Horses. He was featured in Western Horseman and American Quarter Horse Magazines. He was the owner of "Whizoto" the number one quarter horse stud in 1959 with a "Live Foal" stud fee of $5,000.00. He sold Whizoto at the Haymaker Sale in Oklahoma in 1961 for $100,000.00. I didn't put this information in the article because I felt it wasn't relevant.
I have been honest, respectful and courteous with you. You in turn have used unacceptable language with me, i.e. "hell William Scagel", and berated me by telling me "this isn't Rocket Surgery".
I don't know if your need to berate people and use language that isn't necessary fills some sort of void for you. But you felt the need to do it, none-the-less.
So again I will ask you POLITELY, if archives only go back to 1985, how am I to verify this information? The boxes of newspaper and magazine articles I have are cut out. In the 50's and 60's that's what people normally did, cut out the article and paste them inside a scrap book. Like I said, I can scan them and post them.
I still have his 2 year "waiting list" for knives. (A mediocre knife maker does not have a 2 year waiting list.) But like I said, I'm not concerned with the knife making part being kept on Wikipedia.

Arxiloxos, My apologies, I didn't know replies are to go at the bottom. Thank you for your input. It makes more sense to me now. Here is what I will do. I will remove all reference to Ross being a knife maker. As I said, that was such a small part of his venue. Thus ends the debate on that subject.
However, I will go through 30 years of articles, and post what I find with the name of the source and the date. I know for a fact that those are all posted with each article, i.e. "Houston Post Feb. 1, 1950".T. Kiefer DavisVintagedirtbiker (talk) 21:41, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mike, suffering for many years from Aphasia due to a brain injury, your response of "anyone" can do this can sometimes be totally untrue. Never assume. It takes me hours to compose an email.

I don't understand your attitude Mike. I explain to you that I have a brain injury and you take it as an attack on your character? As far as your decision to go through 30 years of Blade magazine and me wasting your time, that's a bit of an oxymoron don't you think? I'll be happy to find it in the trunks I have, and give you the exact magazine, with page number. It's the only full magazine I saved because it was the issue with Stallone on the cover.

NEW COMMENT: Kommissar Hjuler & Mama Baer are contemporary artists, working in several fields (music, painting, mixed media), well known in the European "middle class art scene" - there is no need to delete the side! Brca 17:19, 8 April 2011
I see the reason now, thanks for help, as mentioned, I am new hereI am Komiissar Hjuler, well I looked at the notability list for musicians: My comments to the points 1. quite a lot of albums, listet at Discogs or reviewed at magazines, most famous "fan" of our music is Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, who recommended us in an interview he gave for Arthur Magazine, sometime ago he wrote a track for us called Schwarze Police, this tracks was released as split release at Goaty, Kommissar Hjuler und Frau/Thurston Moore Schwarze Polizei, I refer to this and to other releases on the site here. 2., 3. Our music is far from any chart music, but THE WIRE (magazine) voted a CD by us, asylum lunaticum (Intransitive Rec., USA), to belong to the best 15 albums of the year 2009 in experiment/outsider music, I refer to this as well. 4. for some albums we made coverage tours, for the last one on Ulramarine we have a tour with seven concerts at UK, starting at Cafe Oto, London, 15th of April, I refer to all this as well. 5 We released at independent labels, but some excist for years and have a wide amount of releases. 6. we played with several groups and artists together, some have their account here, like Eugene Chadbourne. 7. www.kunstaspekte.de expects us to create a new form of happening, I refer to this as well 8. this will never happen, I woin a small price in art and got mentioned in a book,refered to it as well, 9. no 10. radios play us, a rdaio at Wisconsin once played only our music for a complete weekend, my wife is at womens radio, and WFMU has played a lot of our music and we are soon present at a CD by them 11, 12. we hope, this will come one day, the WDR III (televion) was at our place for an interview in 2006, but they did not send it at TV, they sent a radio special instead at Radio1, Nordrheinwestfalen, Offener Kanal made a special on us, sent here at local TV, also at a TV special for local TV at Kiel, sent all over Schleswig-Holstein, this special we also show at our website.
Beside this I work as artist with several exhibition, to be with an article at music file is reasonable to me, but the article was originally written by someone else, I simply added some facts, well, ...
And I still do not know who decides whether or not an article gets deleted, thanks for the help so far!
KHJ 13:25 April 8th 20112
First Time I discuss here. As mentioned, I am Kommissar Hjuler, and therfor astonished about the idea, that information here is a fake. I am not sure, who decides that an articles is removed. I tried to find enough references outside my website or private website. I did not know that blogs are not allowed, but some sides today only excist as blogs, our mostly spred interview was at artlout:com issue 04:08, this intervied idi only excists at the www., was never printed, this is an online magazine, but I was told, the articles was red more than a millin times by the magazine. So any blogs could be good references today, I thought. There is a lot of printed magazines that refer to us, mama baer and Kommissar Hjuler (or Kommissar Hjuler und Frau).
We can be regarded as musicians and as artists,we combine everything, music is art and art can be music. We started as musicians only in 1999, now have about 20 LP/CD contracts, gave lot of concert, but since 2005/6 even more work as artists, some exhibitions, and performances are often regarded as art instead of music, allthoug some were at music only festivals.
I am not used to the rules of writing articles, I am sorry for this, I will ot cause any trouble to any Users her.
At the moement I need some help, to get the artcile here safed from any deletion.

At the talk side I gave statements to all points of the notability regularies by wikipedia, comments on each point, and Users reading this, might expect me to be notable. To bring all references can be hard, and for some events I need help to do all references. How can I bring references to the event at Mary Bauermeister's Place? Therefor I need your advice. We have been playing there, a video exists at YouTube, Mary Bauermeister gave a statement on our concert, she said in an interview (video) that she can not go conform with the sexuality we presented at the performance. We had a lot of discussion with her on this point of view. For artists/performance artists, her place is a holy room to perform at, an invitation is something special, for she only asks relevant artists to play there, every first Sunday each month, in the room with her husband's piano, the first Karlheinz Stockhausen piano. These concerts are even more private and personal events, the press could not focus on each concert every month again, I could present a photo at my site from event, if this works, because all information you find at the www is from interviews we gave, if anyone refers to this event, he refers to what I have told in an interview or did write at my website. Here I cannot refer to a video at youtube, this is a problem. There has not been a neutral viewer of our concert at he place, but there never was a neutral viewer for all her concerts. Noone asks, whether or not Nam June Paik has really played there, he made his first European concert at her rooms, but there was nearly no audience, we were told, the circumstances were by far the same, lateron this concert by him has become a fact to all who think about it, simply by the fact, that a lot of magazines wrote about it, for Mary and he stated, he has played there. Mary stated, that we have played there, and some magazines gave back my interbiew, that we have played there, but this is simply what I told them. Hope you see the problem. For other concerts always a program or a poster or catalogue exists, I can refer to these printed matters.
When I started editing this article, it was not that neutral tone it has now, not sure, who wrote it, but noone focussed on it and expected the article to be wrong information, although there were only few references. Concerning the original article here, only for the info this article gave on me, I was not relevant to wikipedia to become mentioned. But I always here that Mama Baer and I have an outut of music and art, that no other artists have. Every month we sign new LP/CD/MC contracs, have new perspectives in art, collaborate with new artists, we are expanding really fast. The original article did not give back this info, it was not mentioned, that we have become involved into NO!art, whic is a big step for us, we gave a lot of interviews, since we have become memberschip, for instanc ethe one by Kunstaspekte, and Kunstaspekte is the most relevant platform for art at Germany !It really is. To be named as artist at their website and to be reviewed is a reference to the artists, if galleries think about an exhibtion.
Anyone of you, who has to decide here, is free to give me his/her advice before giving a statement, the last days I tried my best to bring this article in a neutral view, that keeps me interesting enough for an article. And I will do it the way, as he/she states, all of you are more involved into wikipedia as I am. Kommissar Hjuler (talk) 16:38, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Buchholz a nioteable person for wikipedia, I saw a long artícle on Cecil Touchon, with whom I now work together by mail, also just have been invited to exhibit at the "museum" he runs in 2012, but to me Keith is as noteable. I am long time meber at OPEN FLUXUS, and keith is one of the most active artists in Fluxus of this time, involved in that lot of projects, crazy, that vthere is no article at him. It is easier to bring references for the existence of Cecil due to the Fluxus books, but if one sees blog activity, Keith is as notable, possibly someione here is interested to write about him.

My COI with the artcile on Kommissar Hjuler and on Mama Baer, my wife, is obvious to everyone, due to my Users name. I was not used to the rules here, but this was my fault, when starting an edit. The article here on my person was not showing all current information, I do not now the edititor, I found out about edit function, then added latest news on me. Only true news, but the references were not good, I learned about this as well in the last days. Wikipedia shall not be a promotional site for my person, it shall simply reflect the info on us, that is true. I now try to see from a distance, how to write down all info fitting to the rules. Everyone here shall test, if I am objective enough in my formulations, if not, I ask for your help instead of an deletion proecedere first. And I will listen to you and take any help I can get. The info here on us is true, so any suggestions by Users are helpful to me, to show in a distant view, that I am telling the truth.
I am supposed that a lot of artists are in COI with articles, for the system allowes anyone here to become a User and to work with texts. My User name is evident for the conflict, and I hope this shows you, that I was acting in good will for all changes, otherwise I would have called me different as a User. The system to me seemingly workt the way, that Users create artciles on subjects they new and like, so any user in a way has a COI, to me her it is evident.
Please discuss all points here that are important for me, to see, how I can handle best the COI, to get aware of it. I cannot get ware of it, but I possibly can show to you, that I can be objective. I am a police officer and I am used to being objective, especially when I am at the focus of people.
As mentioned at the talk about the notability, if I simply take away certain points here, I could become not relevant enought, not notable enough for an article here. I am supposed tha en.wikipedia is the correct platform for me and mama baer to be mentioned, we work all over the world at same time, we worked on all continents so far, we have contacts from several contries, not only from Germany, I would suggest that we work more outside Germany as inside germany. The one who once started the article on me here at en.wiki must have had this in mind.
So if you will comment here, please concider, that the information stated is correct, but that the terms of statement or refernce might be chosen in a wrong way.
I will do my best to be as neutral as possible.
One important thing: Possibly on is able to discuss the COI on the articles of Kommissar Hjuler and of Mama BAer at ONE TALK Side, not sure, if an Administrator can manage this. We are known in the same way, we often handle as one person, some performances we called ZWEI EINEPERSON or EINE ZWEIPERSON; because we always work together, also for our solo projects, we share all profiles like facebook, myspace, ..., we are really conected like a system.
Mama Baer's English is too bad, as if she could write her, so any comments are by me.
So, the facts are true, the way of refering to them might be completely wrong by me, and I need your help, to make best references.
Kommissar Hjuler (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure, if the refernce No. 12 is a good reference, the artlout:com is an online magazine that provides monthly issues for download, at their website they state that issues were read by a million people, but how can one be sure about such terms stated. We have been one of the four title stories at issue 04:08, a long interview was presented, refering on some exhibitions, but not all exhibition were mentioned, and we had a lot after april 2008, but the exhitions up to that date were mentioned at the magazine. At europe the online magazine artlout is a recommended magazine, mainly read by art students, represented at german platforms of students, like www.studivz.com, or also at facebook. But not the good stand of www.kunstaspekte.de. I simply do not know, how to make a good reference on the fact, that all the exhibition we have been involved are not a fake. Any artists have these problems. Is it okay to take away the artlout:com reference and simply to state, that programs or catalogues exist to the exhibitions and that we are mentioned at the wesbites of the galleries. We here have a big biox with al the printed matter, but if I shall refer to any printed matter, it would be along list of references, and I see not lists at other artists sites, Often there is stated, he gave a lot of concerts ... or he exhibition at lot of galleries ... I am also in fear to put too much detailed info at the article, for this might cause a COI conflict again, it could be seen as promotion.
I also refer to the textcard No. 16, testcard at Ventil-Verlag is a recommended magazine for the German-speaking area, presenting articles by well-known authors, there is an article on the Ventil Verlag at de-wikipedia, also on Martin Büsser who run the Ventil Verlag. testcard it the only publication of the Ventil Verlag. Possibly the article on Mama BAer and Kommissar Hjuler this is not good enough as reference for en.wikipedia. As mentioned, I am now trying to find references good enough to show, that the article handles with facts.

This is effectively an unreferenced BLP as the purported references (now removed but reviewable here:[3]) are dead links seemingly designed to deceive. Googling on the alleged news article titles get you nothing but the article itself which indicates that they are bogus, not just mislinked. There is an IMDB entry but that is not RS. I have no idea whether this is a complete hoax or whether there is some truth here but it sure as hell fails verifiability.

Dustin was first published in 1999 when he was accepted to the New England Young Writer's conference in Middlebury, Vermont, he was still in highschool. He was published in the anthology. In 2002 Dustin won the Horror writing contest sponsored by The Evening Sun Newspaper in Norwich N.Y. In 2006 his first book was published titled, "Taste," written By Dustin Warburton. In 2007 his 2nd book was published, "Strange Things," written by Warburton. In 2008 his 3rd book was published, titled, "My Brother Eats Spiders," written by Warburton. In 2009 his fourth book was published titled, 'Mortician's food, with a short story in the book by Alex Knight. In 2011 Dustin received a story credit for the feature film, Spiders 3D. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.85.215 (talk) 13:59, 7 April 2011 (UTC) — 75.67.85.215 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Dustin does not own BareBones Publishing with his artist partner, your source is mistaken. Also, Dustin authored four books, he is a co-author on one book, "Mortician's Food." He also wrote the story for Spiders 3D, a Hollywood film. Mortician's Food is a collection of short stories, 8 from Dustin, and 1 from Alex Knight. Get your facts straight before you start degrading our local author. Dustin wrote TASTE, Strange Things, and My Brother Eats Spiders, and he is the only listed author on those three books. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.85.215 (talk) 03:05, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
BareBones was NOT a self publishing house, and is not owned by Warburton or Gorman. BareBones is no longer publishing books at this time. Also, Dustin only co-wrote one book out of the four books he published, and no one is claiming anything other than he did write the books himself, and hired artists to illustrate his stories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.85.215 (talk) 03:11, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We will submit the ISBN numbers and the copyright page from the books to verify he was the SOLE author on three of his four books.

This entry doesn't satisfy WP:AUTHOR. The claim to notability is that he published a monograph and several books, for which no reviews are cited. Oprişan appears to be widely unknown in his Romanian context: true, his monograph is once mentioned by name on page 1006 of George Călinescu's History of Romanian Literature (1986 reprint), among virtually all the works published on Alexandru Vlahuţă before 1958 - I counted 17 others just for Vlahuţă's entry, all in fine print on the same page. In this massive opus, Oprişan's literary work is not once discussed in the body of text. Judging from internet content and archives, including those of interwar magazines, Oprişan is virtually non-existent, either as "Ion Gr. Oprişan", "Ion Grigore Oprişan" (presuming that's what "Gr." stands for) or "Ion G. Oprişan". Same results for the variation "Ioan" instead of "Ion". He does get hits from wikipedia forks or discussion pages, and a couple of passing mentions in some unreliable internet publications by an Orthodox splinter group - see here or here (the very same text, from a 1943 original). The latter results reflect not his writing career or his lawyer's credentials, but something not mentioned in the article: he apparently was a grassroots member of the highly controversial new religious movement Oastea Domnului. Also note that the one source cited in the article is a relative's speech at a genealogical symposium. Dahn (talk) 14:30, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resueman Wikipedia, much like Scientology and like some cults have done has crafted a specific set unique terms not used elsewhere (because they are intentionally vague and skirt the issue or motivation or do not give a detailed acccount at face value of the issue at hand) to serve themselves. It is like how after World War II in Germany mixed race children were called by the code name of Rheinlandbastards. "This appears to be a Rheinlandbastards." As though just by giving it a name they are justified to do what they do. It is a mathematics article with correct new information. It was ill-tolerated because the community tolerated individuals who serve themselves and their social groups instead of serving the greatest good of the freedom to share new ideas and knowledge. A clear sign that what is identified as sin or ill-behavior is likely not is when the individuals who label it so do not speak plainly of it or have specialized terms used only by them. If they spoke plainly of what concerned them they risk their actions been seen by all and this those who seek to censure and limit do not look kindly upon. Sincerely, M. M.

I can't decide what is more problematic about this article. It could be the fact that it uses a native Romanian spelling for a Turkish word, so obscure a word that I can't even determine its actual spelling (zahercu?). It could be that it merely refers to food merchants, no particular reason why these food merchants are more relevant than others on the "international stage". It could also be that the term itself is antiquated (and was colloquial) even in Romanian. The encyclopedic dictionary that I use for quick reference has entries on other words from the Ottoman era from seimeni and agă, to the utterly blurry seraschier, and includes an entry on the generic term, zaherea ("a generic term for provisions [...] that the Romanian lands were obliged to furnish to the Ottoman armies"). But zaheregiu is absent. Google searches for zaheregiu and the plural zaheregii give just about no results. Some other significant problems: the article was created exclusively to fill a red link in a couple of articles from the Filotti family cruft, all of which are now deleted; incidentally, like those articles, it uses a very questionable reference that is quite possible self-published, and is certainly not a reliable source (the author is a raving amateur). Dahn (talk) 02:08, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
“ | In looking at that word (Zaheregiu) as it's spelled in the article, something caught my eye. It hasn't any Turkish-language meaning, at all - even if you break it into syllables (eg. Zaher-egiu) to form a combined word. (Their are Turkish words that are similar in looks, but not similar enough to be useful.) And... it simply isn't logical that a group of Ottoman Age 'Balkan grain traders' would have a meaningless Turkish name. So, I'll bet you a fiver that (Zaheregiu) is slightly misspelled.
I'll investigate further... but for now just consider one of a few credible possibilities. Turks finally began [giving themselves "proper" western-like surnames], often attaching 'oglu' (meaning 'the son of') at the end an heroic name to create a surname for themselves. Now, observe the last 4 letters of the name in question (-egiu). They could have easily been mis-copied when they were taken from the original document (perhaps when they were manually extracted, or when they were spelled-checked, or when the were OCR-ed). Mebbe those letters ought to be 'oglu' instead of 'egiu'...The correct o-letter could have become a similarly-shaped incorrect e-letter during copy/extraction...And so on... Of those 4 letters, I suspect that...only the g and the u-letters made it through cleanly, from the source document. And perhaps, the h-letter in 'Zaher' (a word which has *no* meaning in Turkish) should be an f-letter -- resulting in 'Zafer' which means an heroic 'Victory'. And, combining, you get Zaferoglu... Son(s) of Victory...which is still a very common surname in Turkey. There are a couple of other misspelling possibilities that I also need to consider -- such as Zaferrengi, Zafiroglu, etc. |

The company was one of first performance marketing companies to leverage a social marketing strategy.) for a non-notable online business. Another page designed to look plausible by a PR pro, but the "references" are to Facebook and Twitter accounts, PR sources, Top 500 lists, and the like. Only claims to significance are inclusions on lists of similar businesses. GNews finds a busy PR department, but nothing better. -50 notability points for leverage as a verb.

Few reliable sources found to indicate encyclopedic fit through WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, and/or WP:AUTHOR. The best bets are an interview at Blogcritics. Other elements, like winning an "EPPIE", is an award from EPIC, not seen as anything substantial at Wikipedia (judging by lack of an article) or by EPIC themselves (considering the award page is at least a year out of date). Books are published through very minor presses (Tribute Books, Twilight Times Books, Damnation Books, LLC), which doesn't seem to lend weight to encyclopedic fit. tedder (talk) 01:23, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not establish notability. The 3 references given include two to the subjects personal, self-published website, and one to a short bio on him as an author, from the publisher of a one of his books. The article contains no 3rd party reliable sources indicating notability. A search through the first page of Google results does not produce any substantial 3rd party coverage in reliable sources, either Tzu Zha Men (talk) 17:36, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The existing sources point to minor coverage or press releases as founder of apparent non-notable website and a case study in a apparent non-notable book. A quick google news archive search brings back nothing on subject. CutOffTies (talk) 23:34, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article was questionable to begin with. It used to be one of the biggest independent pharmaceutical wholesalers (its website says the biggest, but other sources waffle on that description) in the US, but that in itself is a dubious distinction: pharmaceutical wholesalers are generally not independent, but are owned by health care providers, drug manufacturers, or other companies. In any case, Kinray was a smallish fish in a very big pond.
No matter. The company has since been bought out by Cardinal, so that dubious distinction no longer exists.
The article, incidentally, was created by a user whose sole mission here was to create puff articles for clients of the PR firm 5WPR. The user, User:babasalichai, has since been banned for sock puppetry. --Ravpapa (talk) 10:05, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable
This article was written by a user whose sole mission in Wikipedia was to write panegyrics about the clients of the PR firm 5W Public Relations. That user User:babasalichai, and his numerous sock puppets, have since been blocked, though he keeps popping up with new users and anonymous IPs periodically.
To the heart of the matter: This Hirschfeld fellow is pretty rich, and there was once an article about his divorce suit in a real estate trade magazine, mostly because of its big-bucks alimony demand. He was also quoted once in the New York Times, and once again in the New York Post. That just about covers his notability. According to the article, he was also the oldest-ever competitor in the Israman Ironman Distance Triathlon competition in Israel. I guess that counts for something. --Ravpapa (talk) 10:35, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rapper who does not appear to meet WP:MUSIC. The albums all appear to be self-produced. The only source I can find that might be considered a WP:RS in which some discussion of the subject occurs in depth is the cited article from the Phoenix New Times, which might fall under the usual local arts scene coverage as the subject is claimed to reside in Phoenix. The other references provided are either primary sources, dead links, or trivial coverage; for example, the claimed "article" at ReverbNation.com is actually his artist profile, which itself is a mirror of this article. There is no added evidence since the previous deletion that he is notable as either an atheist or as a rapper, and thus does not meet WP:GNG. Kinu t/c 23:26, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
