[edit] Daniel Perkins
Entrepreneur bio, possible WP:COI. No independent sources, nothing on Newsbank, unlikely to be notable. ~ trialsanderrors 07:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Delete. This looks like his CV, as written by himself or a close associate. Vanity and WP:COI not to mention WP:NPOV. Too much of this stuff swilling around in the encyclopedia. The Boy that time forgot 21:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I am the author of this page and am neither Daniel T Perkins nor a close associate. This my first EVER entry on wikipedia so heaven forbid that I do not get EVERYTHING right. I am simply a STUDENT, that believes that Daniel T. Perkins and more specifically his company MTS Technologies, Inc., has the potential to be considered a resource in its field. I did not create this for the sole purpose of benefitting Daniel Perkins or MTS Technologies Inc., but I did intend for it to be a reference that is useful to the community as a whole. I still consider this page a work in progress, so I would appreciate that those eager to complain about this page PLEASE bare with me as I make the necessary changes and am sure to write this article from a NEUTRAL POV. Patience is a virtue. Id like to see some of you do this, on the first try with no imperfections and flags on your page. I take all constructive critcism to heart and I will make sure to change any and everything that is not in agreement with wikipedia's policies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.66.107 (talk • contribs)
- It's less an issue of writing style than an issue of independent sources. If no one other than Mr. Perkins' company writes about him, we can't have a neutral biographical article. ~ trialsanderrors 04:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unsourced bio, fails WP:BIO easily. 6 measly, barely-relevant hits was all I got searching for "Daniel Perkins" MTS 1974 (to find some other page that mentions both his 1974 graduation and his present job): [1] Awyong J. M. Salleh 05:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
