[edit] Scott A. Jones

Scott A. Jones (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Fails WP:BIO. Should be deleted or redirected to ChaCha Search. It references the voicemail article and I searched it and it mentions his name, but has "citation needed tags" so there are not verifiable or reliable sources for the voicemail thing. The Scott A. Jones article lacks reliable, verifiable, or notable sources in the article itself. Also the article has no talk page at this time. Scott's claim to fame appears to be his search engine.

• Delete, as all relevant information is already contained on ChaCha Search, and there is no additional notable/verifiable information in this article. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 10:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above, open to a redirect. MER-C 12:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Stubify I don't think it fails WP:BIO. The article itself is bad, and should be stubified, but according to the Voicemail article, "In 1986, Scott A. Jones co-founded Boston Technology, where at the age of 26 he created a voicemail system now used by nearly 500 million people worldwide." Having co-founded a significant company (search on Boston Technology) as well as creating a widely-used software products are way, way, way above the minimum bar. Rather than firing off deletes, at least take a minute to look up some of the relavent information.
• Keep but mark as stub include relevant information into the article or else we will be back next month Alf photoman 14:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to ChaCha Search and merge any useful content. --Wildnox(talk) 19:22, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
