[edit] Ross C. DeVol
Non-notable. pos vanity. ComputerJoe 09:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep if cleaned up. Currently much vanity in the article, but I think he is notable enough. DeVol appears on national television and radio programs to discuss a variety of economic topics such as CNN’s "Moneyline" and NPR’s "Talk of the Nation." He is frequently quoted in printed media such as The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, Los Angeles Times, Forbes, The Economist, Time, Business Week and many others. Claim seems true [1]. —Quarl (talk) 2006-02-06 11:18Z
- Speedy Keep. Obviously not standard vanity, as the author worked on dozens of articles that aren't particularly related. An article shouldn't be deleted simply because its author didn't properly wikilink the content and holds a favorable view of its subject. As Quarl notes, there doesn't seem to be any genuine notability dispute. Monicasdude 15:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: This is not a speedy keep. A speedy keep requires the nominator to withdraw and no other delete votes. Please choose another vote. Stifle 11:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- Response. Not according to the speedy keep policy. A user who votes "speedy keep" isn't required to change his vote just because someone disagrees 24 hours later, especially in a content-free comment like yours. Monicasdude 20:17, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

- Weak keep Needs to be cleaned up and properly referenced, but the appearance of notability is there, IMO Avi 19:32, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
