Previously deleted [1] - subject still likely to fail WP:NBIO. Not seeing anything that would demonstrate SIGCOV - just a number of non-notable business ventures with minimal coverage. KH-1 ( talk) 07:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople and Ohio. Shellwood ( talk) 10:37, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - REFBOMB of mentions that aren't actually about the subject in any substantial way. This reeks of paid advertising - David Gerard ( talk) 11:19, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete PROMO, wow. 19 yr old person that isn't notable. There seems to be some scandal with the business/enterprise thing but I can't find much more than PR sources; even then there are less than 6 of them, not even much paid promo. Oaktree b ( talk) 12:03, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - This seems very much like WP:PAID work and is heavy on PROMO. Most sources are not directly about the individual he is just mentioned. Not to mention the article is extremely hard to read in a normal manner. Grahaml35 ( talk) 12:59, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete and Salt - Previous deletion discussion was clear this article should be deleted to prevent us from being in this situation again in a month this article should also be salted.-- VViking Talk Edits 13:43, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: PROMO & REFBOMB. Tatupiplu' talk 16:46, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete and salt - I found no good refs. Also, compare the edit histories of the article's two major contributors; both also edit Mary Blathwayt and Emily Blathwayt, early 20th century suffragettes:
- Special:Contributions/John.burlington68
-
Special:Contributions/Ikemike1988
- removed AfD tag from article, falsely claiming "Article discussion has been closed."
- The author of the first version, Shyguy125 (now blocked), also removed the tags from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob T. Gaffney
- Clearly bad faith editing. Both "Jacob T. Gaffney" and "Jacob Gaffney" should be salted.
- Jacob Gaffney is not yet 20; he has a long time left to earn his article here.

- Delete - Spotify and IMDB cant be used as a source and the remaining citations are not enough to make it meet notability. Hkkingg ( talk) 21:18, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per everyone above. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 15:41, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
