Appears to fail WP:BIO. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:29, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete What is it about motivational speakers? They seem to crop up with no references so often. If you can reference it then great. In general they remind me of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner poem regarding Slimy things that crawl with legs upon the slimy sea. Fails WP:BIO Kudos for being blown to the south pole under a kite, but that does not make one notable. IT just means that one has been on an adventure holiday.

  • Keep adequately notable [http://www.pearyhenson.org/polarcontroversy/tom_avery_ultimate_north.htm], [http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/work/article/185921], [http://www.nouse.co.uk/2009/03/10/9294/]. JJL (talk) 01:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment If you think it's notable stick the citations in the article. Listing them only here is pointless. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 11:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment. No, for the purposes of this discussion it's just as valid to put them here as in the article. Notability is an attribute of an article subject, not of the current content of the article. Everyone is a volunteer here, so nobody is compelled to edit the article. If you want these sources in the article then it is your responsibilty to put them there - there is no on-demand editing service here. Phil Bridger (talk) 03:38, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep. JJL's shown non-trivial coverage in reliable sources, which the nominator should have looked for before starting the AfD.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 14:29, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
