[edit] Dan Mallin

Vanity, reads like a resume. Unsure as to whether the person is notable enough for an article. Fightindaman 00:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

He and is partner have started a business plan competition called the Minnesota Cup. Last year was the first year. It has a $1 million endowment, sponsorship from The State of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota and Wells Fargo. There where over 600 entires from 48 counties in the state.

Theres is a civic group called the Itasca Project. http://www.theitascaproject.com/ Dan has been asked to lead the Small Business efforts and will be rolling out a major public service initiative addressing those needs in Q3-06. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-09%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=%22dan+mallin%22+minneapolis I just did not know what I was doing from a Wikipedia entry. I have edited it down and with your help will make it an acceptable entry. Help me but don't delete. US285188

• Delete As per nomination, non-notable biography. Seeems like a resume or personal advertisement. Has all the hallmarks of a vanity page. --Wingsandsword 03:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom... doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:34, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Still no evidence of being a notable businessman. If he's involved in notable organisations, perhaps the organisation should have the article. Otherwise it looks like vanity.Average Earthman 06:24, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. JIP | Talk 06:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. He has worked for a number of notable companies, but that does not make him inherently notable. Cnwb 06:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable business bio, WP:BIO refers for criteria. The article reads as a corporate biography from an Annual Report.  (aeropagitica)  06:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
