Declined G11 speedy. The article seems a bit like an advertisement, but it seems that the article about the individual fails WP:BIO, even if the company that he founded might clear notability. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Logs show that the article was speedily deleted three times.--CyberGhostface (talk) 18:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep – but just barely. I did find, by my criteria, just enough coverage by reliable sources to make a case for Notability, as shown here [1]. Regarding the company Marriage Fitness, if an article is ever created it should be a redirect to Mort Fertel. The two are inseparable at this point as shown here [2].

- Delete. Most of those sources linked to above seem reliable, but don't seem to have significant discussion of the subject matter to establish notability, IMO. Cirt (talk) 04:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
