[edit] Stuart R. Ross

Stuart R. Ross (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

US businessman with weak notability against WP:BIO. He is credited with importing Smurfs to the US market IMDb "Trivia"; and with starting a TV channel. But he's not "a primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works". The article was created by User:Intoon which is the name of one of his companies, so there's probably conflict of interest.

  • Very weak keep - the article does credit him with importing Smurfs to the US, which would make him notable, but I think a citation/reliable source is needed to prove this. Other than that, he doesn't seem to be notable, so if the Smurf claim turns out to be spurious I will vote delete. Walton monarchist89 17:03, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Imnporting films and comics does not seem notable enough to me, even if it can be verified. Tikiwont 17:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Week Keep. I think the individual accomplishments add up to notability. --Eastmain 18:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete. The Smurfs connection seems to be the closest to establishing notability, but that's really just worth a brief mention in the Smurfs article. It's already mentioned there, so no merge is necessary. I find the COI aspect troubling too.--Kubigula (talk) 04:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
