[edit] Jeffery Stein

Jeffery Stein (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is an autobiographical article about a businessman who has a series of successful ventures, but is borderline, leaning not notable. Specific google search reveals an article about Convene that makes mention of him for several paragraphs [1] and another article on the same company that barely says anything about Stein [2]. The two preceding sources are good for an article about that company. However, the potential NPOV and OR problems introduced by an autobiography prompt me to request deletion.

On a personal note, I don't like deleting this article, as the author sent me an email gushing about wikipedia, and even offered to pay people to help him become a good wikipedian. He's a nice guy, but he's probably not notable and the article about him has serious potential policy problems (its hard to know if there are real problems without more sources).

• Delete Neither of the companies he founded have articles here and I sure cant find any articles about him Corpx 07:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, Convene.com is potentially weakly notable as an early distance learning vendor, but Stein doesn't seem independently notable. As I frequently point out, accomplishment is not notability.--Dhartung | Talk

• Delete Doesn't quite cut it per WP:N at this time. If that changes, he's welcome to request the help of someone else to write about him. Adrian M. H. 18:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom unless sources are provided. John Vandenberg 12:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
