Perhaps somewhat IARish nomination. I previously requested speedy deletion for this article as promotional spam and it was subsequently deleted. It was then re-created by the same blatant COI editor, who has since been blocked. Now matter how you slice it, this is still promotional spam. What I've seen flash across my watchlist since this article first caught my attention amounts to a classic example of "process over product", particularly in this case the notion that some of the weakest sources one could find somehow add up to evidence of notability. I'm getting tired of watching folks make excuses for why we don't need to be bothered with reflecting notable biographical subjects whose notability falls outside of the notice of the web within the past decade, all the while trying to justify self-serving crap like this. More importantly, I don't tag pages for speedy deletion all that often. To see it come back to life and being "nurtured" like this means that folks are content with shitting all over my good faith. This exact same scenario played out months ago with Draft:Shea Welsh. I didn't have the opportunity at the time to weigh in on the recent new page patrol controversy / proposal / whatever it was. However, if folks have that little value for my good faith in what NPP I've been doing, they should just say so, instead of sending that exact message through their editing activity and making me waste my time by repeating my efforts like this.
