[edit] Robert Rosenkranz

The page was clearly written by a paid publicist, about someone of no great public interest who is seeking publicity. Marcus Tully (talk) 08:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC) Copied from note left on article itself. ➔ REDVEЯS knows how Joan of Arc felt 13:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

It reads as if a PR girl wrote the entry - and not even a good one ! A competant publicist would have done better. 86.144.85.168 (talk) 18:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge/Move to Rosenkranz Foundation as the article is mostly about the foundation, and it is notable. --Michael WhiteT·C 16:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

It's one financial group in country of thousands and not sure that justifies an entry. Ditto the Foundation - half of Park Avenue has at least one or two, and although he's a Conservative he has not contributed really unlike say Scaife (who if you like him or hate him, has at least made an impact). Maybe I'm feeling cranky today, but sort of getting tired of how many people use Wiki for self-promotion these days. Getting a publicist to place a puff piece in the Times and the New Yorker does not make him notable in any way .... Marcus Tully (talk) 17:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep I would hope a professional publicist would do it better--there is obviously a good deal more to say, judging by the sources. From the NYT aticle " Robert Rosenkranz, an investor and philanthropist who runs Delphi Financial Group, a $5 billion insurance concern," this is sufficient money for notability. In any case, being the subject of an article in the NYT and in the New Yorker, it meets the WP:N requirements beyond any doubt. If they think his activities notable, that should end the discussion.
