  • What is not notable about my achievements? i was the previous CEO of AKA Link Communications corp see: http://www.akalink.com. My new startup co is Spam Cube, Inc i dropped $3Million of my own money into it we are bringing our product the spam cube (worlds first antispam hardware for home personal computers) to market march 1st. For verification that i am the owner of these companies email me at ceo@spamcube.com or ceo@akalink.com Don't know how much more information you guys need from me to prove everything i am writing is true. You can google my old company AKA Link. You won't find much on spam cube, we are still building a buzz around the product. Should see it covered in major it mags soon. Let me know if you need more info from me :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spamcubeinc (talk • contribs) 06:10, 10 February 2006.
Isn't the Barracuda Firewall™ a hardware anti-virus/spam device that has been marketed for a while now? -- Avi 19:16, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
    • How about WP:BIO? Melchoir 06:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
    • As for whether these things are true, see WP:V. Melchoir 06:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Give AKA Link Communications the google test and check out the web site? company sure isn't fake, i should know i spent 4 yrs of my life building it. As for Spam Cube we can't give it the google test now as it is a startup co. Few weeks though you should see some notable consumer watchdogs cover the product. I have an interview with computerworld next week. Maybe that would help? not sure what else i can say? Let me know if you need anything else :-) BTW: Only thing public thats verifiable now about the Spam Cube is its trademark (http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=78411511) litigation going on with hormel vs spam cube, inc (very funny might i add hormel is claiming the term spam has killed their brand haha) lawsuit is costing $120,000 (ask any law student or lawyer wikipedian on the cost of TTAB trials they will verify) and we have 11 patents pending with the USPTO on the Spam Cube's technology. Not sure if you guys are familiar with patents but normally patents go for $10,000 - $20,000 each. Theres no BS here. Letme know if i can provide any other information to you i'd be more than happy to provide i am very transparent. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spamcubeinc (talk • contribs) .
    • I have no doubts that your company exists - the question is whether it's noteworthy enough for an encyclopedia. Cnwb 06:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
        • The Cube falls under WP:NOT a crystal ball; in any case, this page is for discussing the article Joseph P. Marino. Is there any evidence that he meets WP:BIO? Melchoir 06:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: per nom. —Wknight94 (talk) 12:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:BIO. Just being the CEO of your own company isn't enough to deserve being in an encyclopedia.Thatcher131 16:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete not that it matters, but my current employer (#106 on the fortune 500) does not have a page to his name.--Dinosaurdarrell 20:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
    • definitely i agree with you, i'm sure he's your typical ceo. Over 40 prolly inherited his position and hasn't built anything that is going to put a dent in a sector of the IT industry :)i'm not hating or being vain, but i am 25 yrs old, built some successful companies in the past all self made and i am about to release a product in march that is patented (technology patents are almost impossible to get these days), is going to be carried by major retail outlets etc if thats not notable then i don't know what is! I'll definitely have some 3rd party verification for you in a few weeks for all my claims. Hold tight!
      • For a man who's so notable, you seem to have alot of time to defend your own Wikipedia entry! Cnwb 01:26, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Ask yourself, who else (besides me) would want to look me up in an encyclopedia? That's the question we're all asking, and we're coming up empty. If you ever become important enough to deserve an entry, that fact will be evident from the number people of talking about you who are not employees, paid PR or relatives. Plus, the fact that you are defending your personal bio as much as your product tells us more about you than you think. Please read WP:BIO. Thatcher131 03:23, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, pure vanity as above. Kuru 15:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Userfy By all means, move this to your user page, and if and when you become notable, move it back. But currently, it does not meet notability, IMO Avi 19:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
