[edit] Dave davies seo

Dave davies seo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails notability. Looks like self promotion. Watchsmart 11:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - per nom. Does appear to be self promotional. Not seeing any relevant notability per WP:BIO.  BIGNOLE   (Question?)  (What I do)  18:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Ineffective SEO spam masquerading as an article. (All our links are nofollow, folks.) Zetawoof^(ζ) 21:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Reply - What is is exactly that you'd like? I would like to add in all the larger SEO notables. I've only gotten as far as Jim Hedger as I'm in the finishing rounds of working on the SitePoint book and haven't had time but there are a ton more SEO consultants who are highly notable and I want to see the majority added (Jill Whalen, Bill Slawski, Rand Fishkin, etc.) . And yes, I know the links are nofollow. As a link building method, well ... there are definitely easier ways to get links than this. :)

I don't really think that Davies (and Hedger, also) meets notability requirements. The page on Rand Fishkin is cheesy, and his meeting of notability standards is the result, perhaps, of a lot of self promotion.... but at least he has been the subject of _one_ non-trivial magazine article. I don't see your guys meeting any of the suggested criterion. Do you? Watchsmart 04:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete His visible notability seems to be restricted to being the updater of one technical manual.DGG 04:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Insufficient independent sources of info to produce an encyclopedic article at this time. Jehochman (^Talk/_Contrib) 09:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
