[edit] J. Bryan Scott

J. Bryan Scott (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete. Wikipedia is not a resume-posting service. Despite claims of this person being a "philanthropist" and "investor", the facts indicate that he is, in the final analysis, a college student. One with ambition, perhaps, but well below any threshold of notability. His connection to the website CampusTrade.com doesn't convince me either; its user base is limited to the university he attends. Calling it "the second largest website of its kind in the United States" is a strained, tenuous (and unsubstantiated) claim; several colleges have similar websites that perform this service. And you'd have to ignore this little thing called Craigslist, etc. Sounds like a real go-getter, but he's not (yet) earned a Wikipedia entry. -- P L E A T H E R talk 03:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as vanity and self-promotion. A Google search for "J. Bryan Scott" shows very few hits, and none that mention him as being CEO of anything. Comment: It may be worth noting that six minutes before the J. Bryan Scott article was created, an anonymous user altered the CampusTrade article to indicate J. Bryan Scott was the founder. --Bongwarrior 03:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
