[edit] Personal branding

Article reads like a sales pitch, totally unencyclopedic and non-contextual, half of the article consists of vanity editing, while the subject of the article seems legit, judging from a Google search, there's no way of understanding what the article really is about at its current state, and having it around certainly doesn't improve things. It might qualify as a neologism too, I'm bringing it here because I'm uncertain. -Obli (Talk)? 23:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong keep If I hadn't sold my Intro to Public Relations textbook, I'd bring it up. Branding is a huge concept in public relations and marketing, and personal branding is an extension of that. This said, article needs a major rewrite ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 00:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Swat. Real concept, poor article. Rewrite per DP, don't delete. Thatcher131 01:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, is an actual marketing term per Mr. Swat; googles in the hundreds of thousands. Mr. Obli's concerns are completely valid however; the article as written is a spam magnet and littered with tool-speak. Improve by editing; but don't delete in entirety. Kuru talk 01:43, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Upon closer inspection, the latest major contribution seems to be a copyvio, while the one before that was vanity editing -Obli (Talk)? 15:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep well known, deserves article. Cleanup. KillerChihuahua?!? 10:31, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
