The subject of this article has requested deletion ticket:2017012710005992 While we do not automatically delete an article simply because the subject requests it, the subject also claims that the article was created by a promotional company who created the page. I don't see any signs that the original editor of the article has declared their conflict of interest. Is this a sufficient justification for removal of the page?

Keep! - Notable wrapper, SOHH just did a feature on him. If a promotional company made the page, it should be cleaned up instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArchitectureNerd (talk • contribs) 14:37, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While there is indeed a piece on him at SOHH, notability requires more than one RS and I think he's at a marginal level where we can comply with WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE, based on what I've seen. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
