[edit] Quinley, Kevin M.

My initial reaction was that this qualified for Speedy as a vanity page per A7. I note that the creator of the article is User:Kquinley, whose only contribution is this article. However, on re-reading the article, there may be some argument that this person satisfies WP:BIO. There may be sufficient ghits for this person as well (assuming it's the same person). Out of an abundance of caution, I think it's best to put this one forward for consideration by all. Agent 86 19:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral. Notable in the world of accountancy, perhaps, but outside it? Is WP:PROF an appropriate criterion to use? If so, more references to his published work will be needed. Tevildo 20:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

  Comment' If he meets WP:PROF as an accountant, then he ought to be deemed notable. While most respected accountancy journals have online versions, they are also fee for access so far as I know. (I'm in Finance currently, but not a CPA.) We might need a CPA to test the claims unless the article grows references. WP:BIO would also be a legitimate test. GRBerry 01:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, although not the most notable, the ghits seem to assert some degree of notability. We can't just delete it because it isn't Wikified. --Alphachimp ^talk 07:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Using ProQuest, I find several articles written by him in Business Insurance and some in Safety Management and Veterinary Economics, not much. Afd maybe should be relisted again. —Centrx→talk • 21:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. It should of course be renamed to "Kevin M. Quinley". —Centrx→talk • 18:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Somewhat distinguished career, but don't see anything encyclopedically notable. "500 papers" claim unsourced, if those are peer-reviewed, I might reconsider. ~ trialsanderrors 19:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. The ones I find appear to be mostly book reviews and random articles. —Centrx→talk • 20:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep and speedy rename to put the last name last, needs sources Crazynas ^t 20:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless the 500 papers referenced JPotter 22:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Jason Potter, note that merely writing stuff will not make you notable, but if the books have ISBNs and are properly sourced, maybe keep. SM247^{My Talk} 22:53, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep references can be fixed per {{sofixit}} and {{solookitup}}. --DavidHOzAu 04:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - My initial was delete. The subject matter is dry, but would be to anyone outside the industry. An author of 10 books (confirmed on [Amazon (link might not work, I think they use a token in the URL). I might even work with the guy to clean it up - kind of bored right now. --Geneb1955^Talk/_CVU 08:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
