Delete. I can't find anything to salvage it with either. Alpha3031 (t • c) 14:45, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I did a bunch of editing (maybe a waste of time) and checked references. I find no independent references - a lot of bios in organizations he's involved in, and they are clearly derived from the bio on his Vilcek site. There are two lengthy interviews (not independent). The one independent article is from the Dayton Daily News but isn't enough for GNG. He has authored books that accompany art exhibitions, and could be NAUTHOR if there were reviews, but I didn't find any. I also did considerable editing on the Vilcek Foundation article which has the same PROMO. I haven't get thought about its GNG status. Lamona (talk) 16:33, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concur. May not mean much but I find it amusing that 7 of the first 10 image results for his name are the same image from the Vilcek site. Moritoriko (talk) 23:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comments - I see the problems with PROMO WP:NOTRESUME, and WP:NOTFREEWEBHOST. I would not object to a redirect. Bearian (talk) 14:34, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
