[edit] Bob Diener

This article lacks reputable verifiable sources and is about a subject who appears to fail WP:BIO. Erechtheus 18:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Article seems to be a series of name-drops about subject's alledged connections with big name corporations, then a sentence of two on admittedly inexact lists of subject's philanthropy. Having "affiliations" with big corporations and donating money to charities does not make one notable. Furthermore, I detect WP:NPOV in the claim that Honest Reporting is a charitable organization, as this article implies. Scorpiondollprincess 18:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The information about him is confirmed by the page from Cornell University which I added. I have removed the alleged connections and the claim that Honest Reporting is a charitable organization. I think that he is an important businessperson. He has been quoted several times in the New York Times. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 19:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. If he wants the self-aggrandizement, let him buy a space in Who's Who. --Calton | Talk 02:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Subject does not yet quite meet criteria of WP:BIO. --Satori Son 20:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO. --Aquillion 21:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
