[edit] Gabrielle O'Donovan
Article appears to be an autobiography with Otis2007 (talk · contribs) being the individual in question. The book `The Corporate Culture Handbook’ indeed exists but appears to not be significant in anyway beyond existing. Article appears, considering the other additions, to be for self advertising and progression of imageonly considering the prevelant weasel words talking up the individual. –– Lid(Talk) 16:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Addition: due to the comment at Talk:The Corporate Culture Handbook, as the article was taken verbatim from the website of O'Donovan, it has been confirmed that Otis2007 is O'Donovan. –– Lid(Talk) 17:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- The comment above seems to short-change Gabrielle. `The Corporate Culture Handbook' is listed in the top 1% of best business books for 2006 as voted by USA industry leader Business Book Review. Her work is internationally recognised and has won a number of awards. She is a sought after speaker at conferences such as 'The 7th International Conference on Knowledge, Culture & Change' and is a visiting lecturer on 'Culture & Change' at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.— Jdrinan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Delete as a resume, spamming a book. She's probably very good at what she does, but I cannot see any verifiable evidence that she's notable. Edit summary for the upload of the picture says "Uploaded by Gabrielle O'Donovan" So now its potentially WP:COI.Montco 02:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete without prejudice. Blatant advertising requiring a total rewrite. Kla'quot 07:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
