[edit] Brandon Barr

Brandon Barr (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Procedural nom. In my mind, there's nothing uncontroversial about the PROD which was placed on the article, thus why I'm bringing this to AfD for consensus. The reason placed on the page by user Brandonbarr was: "This article was created by Riam4ever, which is a know pseudonym of the Brandon Barr in Redlands, CA, a fact that can be confirmed with a Google search of "Riam4ever" (ie: this article was written by its subject). This is a clear conflict of interest. Additionally, this entry is without much substance or references, and is being used to further the career of Mr. Barr, while additionally causing confusion between this Brandon Barr and me--a writer, poet, and critic of the same name that has a longer history of publication." As this is a procedural nomination, I am neutral at this time. Redfarmer (talk) 11:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete He's published a few books, but all I can find about him is on his official website. There are a couple of minor mentions, and then the rest of the Google hits seem to be about different people. He fails the notability guideline at this time.

  • Delete. Articles are usually orphaned for a reason. The only links to it deal with this AfD. Subject falls short on WP:BIO. B.Wind (talk) 04:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
