[edit] David Parnell
Non-notable motivational speaker. Lots of Google hits for his name, but a lot don't appear to be him. "David Parnell" speaker gets about 366 hits. A lot of it seems to be sites for schools and organizations saying that he has/will speak to them. The article reads like an advert/speaker's biography, gives no sources, and expresses nothing about him that doesn't sound like a lot of other motivational speakers out there.

- Keep. Appears to be notable in the "don't do drugs" speaking circuit. Info appears to come straight from his own website, though. so possible CopyVio. Nonetheless, seems notable to me. --Rehcsif 00:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Doesn't even come close to WP:BIO, unless I missed the part about former drug addicts who go around talking to schoolkids. --Wine Guy Talk 08:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- Delete. It's commercial advertising, not a proper encyclopedia entry. Jonswift 05:13, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Does not pass WP:BIO. --Satori Son 15:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Though perhaps "The person has done a lot to keep kids off drugs" should be added to WP:BIO. —Centrx→talk • 00:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
