Notability. This is a true shocker.... lots of "sources" which (if not behind paywalls) do not mention the perp. Barrel scraping, and not even the right barrel. I despair. TheLongTone ( talk) 15:06, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete nothing notable, per all above. Oaktree b ( talk) 15:16, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople and Arkansas. Shellwood ( talk) 15:17, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete no signs of actual notability. Way too much coatracking about other people who may be notable, but that is to be covered in articles on them, not in an article on him. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:23, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not for every attention-seeking Joe Smith who comes down the pike. Clarityfiend ( talk) 21:47, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete It's a WP:RESUME/magazine article, and the middle name inclusion screams that even more (and source #9, please enjoy the laugh, because...huh?!). Going by the creating editor's history, I don't know if it's even an editor or a shambolic article-bot of some kind (re: source #13). Nate • ( chatter) 00:40, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Pretty obvious Chaddude ( talk) 02:23, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Mostly a hoax. The first several sources didn't even mention the subject, a search didn't come up with any independent RS. Jacona ( talk) 14:27, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
