  • Delete- doesn't appear to have any sources proving notability. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 03:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

:*This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

  • I added a link to The Cluetrain Manifesto, a book Levine co-authored. I also put in a link to the patent mentioned and a link to support the Amazon one-click patent claim. Levine has some other patents as well, including one for displaying text when the user presses the help key. (Please note that I am a co-author of Levine's, so my judgment is clouded.) dweinberger (talk) 20:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
  • This would mean you do have a fundemental conflict of interest and may be against policy. However that being said I'd like to look over your ref. and see what you added. It may be what was needed to make it notable. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Xe knows that already. Xe just said so xyrself. Uncle G (talk) 13:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
  • My opinion is that the article needs fundemental help to make it meet quality standards and be encyclopeadic, the amazon connection doesn't make sense to me and I suggest you remove it as non-sequitor, however the book does help the notability, do you have the Isbn info fo rit or any book reviews to go along with it.

  • M. Weinberger, what Wikipedia requires for all subjects, per the Primary Notability Criterion, is multiple independent published works, by people with good reputations for fact checking and accuracy, that document the subject in depth. This article as it stands solely cites two patent applications, neither of which document this person at all. I've had a look for independent sources documenting this person's life and works, but have yet to find anything. He is not documented in any books, and not in any newspaper articles that I can find so far. (Rick Levine the director of television commercials is [http://www.nytimes.com/1988/04/14/business/the-media-business-advertising-commercial-maker-seeks-the-story.html more documented] than this Rick Levine is.)

    If no such sources exist, which looks likely from the lack of results in my efforts so far to find them, then per Wikipedia:Deletion policy the article must be deleted. We don't do unverifiable biographies here. So please cite some sources documenting this person's life and works in depth. Uncle G (talk) 14:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
