• First of all thanks to Eagle 101 for the way he has dealt with this. Regarding Roy Martina: the man is a notable quack. A google search for his name gives 260,000 hits. His books are sold on Bol.com, the online bookstore of Bertelsmann. Martina is a familiar face on television. My article was a translation of the Dutch wikipedia article on Roy Martina. This man is unfortunately notable. I suggest keeping this article on wikipedia. Aecis ^{I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive.} 22:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I found 295,000 Google hits. He definitely qualifies as notable. RickReinckens 23:25, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Respectful Keep per Rick. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 23:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as only the advertising comittee run-in might be notable, and it is a single event. This is in addition to the dearth of sourcing. - Tewfik^Talk 17:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Fails WP:BIO. The vast majority of hits in a Google search are for other individuals with the same name, not this Roy Martina. When you add "Biostabil" to the query, you get 575 hits, and many of those are simply mirrors to the Dutch Wikipedia, or to blogs referencing it. wikipediatrix 18:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Then scrap the google test. That still leaves the Dutch language wikipedia article, the book sales and the Advertising Code committee (the official body for all commercials and adverts in the Netherlands). I agree that the article as it stands still needs a lot of work though (i.e. it's crap). Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 13:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, I concur with Wikipediatrix. I see no evidence this person meets WP:BIO. Numerous Google hits don't make one notable; there is a reason Wikipedia:Search engine test is not an accepted guideline... because it is not a good indicator of notability. Heck, googling my name pulls well over 1 million hits.--Isotope23 20:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
