Notability not asserted or established. Tag has been up for 8 months Daniel J. Leivick 17:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, it's stubby, but appears just notable enough. — Coren ^(talk) 21:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 23:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete on grounds of non-notability per Daniel J. Leivick. I can see why a director of a prominent interest group needs a bio stub, but the trivial coverage of this article falls far short of the WP:Notability (people) criteria. --Gavin Collins 14:20, 7 July 2007 (UTC

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• comment The original ed. is no longer active; I've notified the last editor who has worked on it. DGG (talk) 19:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I'm the last editor who worked on it, but all I've done is cut out blatent copyright violations from the article and a bit of copy editing. The article was created by a user who was copying and pasting information from Galvin Electricity Initiative into a few new and existing Wikipedia articles. My assumption was that the user was part of the organization (if I remember correctly, the user name matched up with someone in the organization). So far as notability goes, if you look at one of the older revisions, there is a little more about this individual's notability. However it is directly from a corporate bio, so it would certainly be better if there were more independent sources. At a quick glance at his biography on the Galvin web site, what may make him notable is this line: He has authored more than 200 technical publications on energy and environmental topics and chairs the World Energy Council Study on energy and climate change [1]. But without more research, I can't really speak to whether the publications are substantial or if the study he chairs is notable. ScottW 23:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Minor correction: Based on username, the user who created the article could be affiliated with a marketing group that was working with Galvin Electricity Initiative[2]. ScottW 23:15, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. The organization might be notable but he's not. This article reads like his resume. Tualha (Talk) 03:10, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
