[edit] Brett Joshpe

There is very little evidence of notability, and appears to be self-promotion. ETA: No page in the main namespace links to Brett Joshpe. john k 17:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. May be an auto-bio, but it does mention a book, which would make him potentially notable. It just needs to be wikified right? •Malinaccier• T/C 17:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
    The book has not yet been published, and, so far as I can tell, its publication cannot be confirmed - we are taking it on faith that this is true. If the book is published, we can bring back the article. john k 18:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Deroy Murdock here. I posted the page on Brett Joshpe, a colleague of mine in New York City. As I indicated in the edit section of the Joshpe article, he is co-authoring a political book forthcoming from Simon & Schuster. He also is selling Max Yasgur's farm, site of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Arts Festival, whose 38th anniversary is this week. As requested, I linked to a CNN article and another from the Washington Times as references. I have improved this article as I was asked. I believe Brett Joshpe is notable, and I object to this article's proposed deletion. -- Thank you, Deroy MurdockMurdock2000 17:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC) [I'll assume this counts as a Keep from the article's principal creator. john k 18:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)]
    Being the real estate agent on a famous property is not, I think, sufficient to qualify as notable, although reasonable people might differ on that. john k 18:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The book is yet to be published, no verification aside from the Fox News story, just doesn't pass the notability test yet. Maybe later. Realkyhick 18:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete without comment. GreenJoe 18:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for now; if the book comes out and is received in a strong enough manner to get it coverage from a wide range of reliable sources, notability might be passed, but right now I don't feel he meets WP:BIO. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
