Cesar Salazar (VC)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is an article about a young entrepreneur, which clearly has a problem with promotional tone. I was in the middle of cleaning it up, as I assumed from all the companies he's apparently started he'd be notable, but when I started looking for sources I couldn't really find anything. There is one passing mention in a BBC article, but apart from that, there's not much going. A search of "'Cesar Salazar' entrepreneur" in google news shows no results. Thus fails WP:GNG.

I want to declare that I have removed references prior to nominating - one was a reference to a news article which was broken (404'd), so I removed it and the sentence of puffery it was attached to. The others weren't references, they were just links to the front pages of the websites of companies he's supposedly created. I don't think any of this is controversial, but I wanted it to be clear.

I haven't looked into notability yet, but if this is kept then it needs to be renamed. When I saw the title I thought that it was about a Victoria Cross recipient. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would've done that straight away (I made the same mistake), but I couldn't figure out what the VC stood for as there's no explanation. Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 12:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's supposed to mean "venture capitalist". Phil Bridger (talk) 12:54, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I could not find any coverage about him - just this article and various social media sites. --MelanieN (talk) 21:06, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete without prejudice to future article Feels like a person who might warrant an article once there are some WP:RS describing this activity. Until then, delete. If there are future RS, an article would be in order.BennyHillbilly (talk) 06:06, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
