Non-notable person. No evidence of the significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that the General Notability Guideline demands. WP:BEFORE results were a mix of routine business announcements (PR) and biographical entries on corporate websites. Exemplo347 (talk) 01:35, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Exemplo347 what exactly does Bloomberg and SMH lack in your opinion? Trailmixers (talk) 14:03, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Bloomberg article is just a Bio and the SMH article is a re-printed Bloomberg press release. Neither count as "substantial coverage in reliable, independent sources" as required for Wikipedia articles. None of the sources do - and I've pointed this out in my initial nomination.

- the bloomberg profile page is neither an article or a "bio".The information displayed on the page is created and managed by S&P Global Market Intelligence, a division of S&P Global. If you don't understand what that means, I have no problem discussing it... but marking the page for deletion without any discussion was completely unnecessary.

Erm, this IS the discussion. I've stated my rationale, which explains why this discussion is necessary. Exemplo347 (talk) 15:51, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- - Discussion is what the talk page is for. nomination is meant to take place after attempted discussion. In any event, S&P Global Market Intelligence is a reliable and independent source. Trailmixers (talk) 23:26, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's not correct. Nominations for deletion do not require prior discussion. Anyway, as you're not the article creator, I see no value in arguing this point with you. Exemplo347 (talk) 19:01, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- - The point is its obvious you followed me here. In any event, I've been working on a large addition for weeks. In a few days the page is going to develop substantially... which would be a lot easier to finish if I fellow editors were a touch more cooperative. Trailmixers (talk) 23:26, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you could take a step back for a moment you'd see that it's not all about you. Anyway, if you've been working on a large addition without finding sources that allow the subject of this article to meet the General Notability Guideline then you've probably been wasting your time. Now, I'm going to let other editors comment - for example, the creator of the article - because this isn't a personal thing & I have no interest in arguments. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:06, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you could stop arbitrarily requesting the pages I'm working on to be deleted, without making an attempt at contribution or discussion, there wouldn't be an argument. Trailmixers (talk) 00:28, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Look, just drop the stick - you're incorrect in your assertion. Assuming good faith is a core principle of Wikipedia editing. If you genuinely believe I'm targeting you, I suggest you raise a case at the Administrator's Noticeboard. If not, then focus your energy on improving Wikipedia. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:31, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep sources are credible. notability is clearly established. albeit there is a need for further citations, which the page was already marked for... Trailmixers (talk) 03:27, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- Wikipedia is not a resume hosting service. I note that Bahamas Petroleum Company is also currently at AfD. Both articles have been created by the same editor (Special:Contributions/Jacquequestowe), so the walled-garden situation is another reason to delete.
