[edit] Leonard Eisen

The article is on a man whose ventures never seem to have been notable. The article claimed (until I took it out) he was the CEO of Lipton which appears to be totally false as Lipton seems to not have CEOs since it has been owned by a bigger company since then. It also claims he was a vice-president of RCA and a pioneer of cable TV but nothing supports that. His marketing firm doesn't seem to be notable as it promotes only further non-notable products. He owns a local mattress sales company (see Sleep Tech Inc. and the related AFD) but nothing beyond that. I don't see any evidence in here that his ventures every became notable in any way and I can't find any support for the claims in the article (especially the more ludacris ones which I removed. In addition, there are conflict of interest concerns as the creator and maintainer of the article is the grandson of the subject. Metros 10:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO. Definitely a COI NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 10:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I can't substantiate his association with most of the companies mentioned, doesn't meet WP:Verifiability, WP:COI problems. Sleep-Tech doesn't even seem to have its own website, just part of someone else's portal... now that's non-notable. Accounting4Taste 17:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
• Strong KeepNotable person, and Sleep-Tech has two websites that i know of, so you are lieing right there. www.sleeptechstores.com and www.sleeptechmattress.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by NightRider63 (talk • contribs)
  • • Comment Thanks for pointing that out, and I'm surprised not to have found them -- they must not be indexed on Google very well. Possibly it was the hyphen. Anyway, a "chain" with only two stores isn't really notable IMHO. By the way, we assume good faith when referring to the work of other editors on Wikipedia, and rarely, if ever, suggest that they are "lieing". Accounting4Taste 19:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment What is notable about him? And what sources do you have to support the notability? Metros 19:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment That's Simple. Great question. CEO of a mattress retailer and manufacturer, past President of Lipton, past president of 3 companies. Metros has been spamming me for the past week, deleting EVERY page. This isnt hard guys, this is a personal attack that he has taken to the next level.--NightRider63 19:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Do you have anything that proves he was anything what you say? He's CEO of the mattress retailer, but that's a local store basically. Past president of Lipton? Prove it. Past president of three companies? What three companies? What proof do you have of it? And how notable are those companies? Metros 19:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - I cannot find anything to prove notability more than owning two local stores, which I don't find at all notable as far as wikipedia is concerned.Iamchrisryan 19:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Realized it does not have sources. Speedy Delete. Struck previous comments per this one.--NightRider63 19:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

      • {{db-author}} speedy deletion declined; edits by others are more than trivial. GRBerry 21:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
