Contested prod, fails WP:BIO. Subject is a recently graduated sports agent, claims "many" clients, none are named though. No cites. Bongwarrior 05:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Dppowell 06:05, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO, no WP:RS indicating notability. 99.9% chance this is a WP:COI issue as well, based on the talk page. Ultimately violates WP:V. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Absolutely no evidence of notability whatsoever. Arguments on the article's talk page asserting notability (namely, that he was once mentioned in the newsletter put out by his former employer, and promises that he will be mentioned in some tabloid that's distributed for free on Southern California college campuses) are downright laughable.

• Delete No assertion of notability. No sources listed. I'm concerned about the last couple of sentences where clients are mentioned. If he represents professional athletes, then sources are definitely needed to confirm that. How do you represent an Olympic athlete, aren't they all ameteurs? (except basketball and maybe a couple others). They would not need representation. --Cyrus Andiron 12:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Even if they're competing as amateurs, they'd still need an agent for product endorsements, image rights etc - iridescenti (talk to me!) 15:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply I guess that makes sense. I had forgotten about that aspect of being a sports agent. Well, even with that cleared up, Mr. Mezey still isn't notable. --Cyrus Andiron 18:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Nothing at all to indicate any more N than any other agent. With all due respect, a guy who only got his diploma in sports management less than a year ago is unlikely to be Jerry Maguire - iridescenti (talk to me!) 15:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Absolutely no assertion of notability and very spamish sounding. Sarah 04:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
