not notable, and used as linking page to Brilliant Earth spam page SauliH 05:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Only editor of page is User:Btgerstein. Quite obviously the co-founder of company. Related Afd nominations are Eric Grossberg, and Brilliant Earth. SauliH 05:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Beth Gerstein is, along with her co-founder Eric Grossberg, a philanthropist who has established the Diamonds For Africa Fund to provide royalties back to indigenous African peoples harmed by the conflict diamond industry.

  • Delete per nom. Blatant WP:COI. Realkyhick 06:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - unsourced autobiography of a non-notable person. MER-C 09:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - concur with nom. Article is related to parent AfD. Appears self-published. Ronbo76 15:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Confirm that Btgerstein is a co-founder of Brilliant Earth but topic has merit as Beth Gerstein is one of the most prominent diamond industry opponents of the stated position of the World Diamond Council. Other users should be allowed to expand on this topic. --Egwiki 02:55, January 6 2007 (UTC)
