Michael Jackson (engineer)

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Vcwatcher with the following rationale "removing notice" (sigh). The sources are, as I said, poor - at best we have an interview in niche magazine and some mentions in passing. Seems like your usual vanity paid-for bio - in the interest of disclosure, I would therefore like to ask User: Vcwatcher is he has any connection with the subject here, and if he is aware of WP:PAID? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:11, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Insufficient coverage in sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Incidentally, given the look of the article and the contributions of User:Vcwatcher I'd suggest it's starting to quack like paid editing. --Jack Frost (talk) 12:04, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
