Recreation of an article that was previously deleted for failing WP:SIGCOV. Does not appear to have any new substantial sources from the first version of the article. Same issues apply. Also, editors should be aware that the first AFD had issues related to WP:MEATPUPPETRY and/or WP:SOCKPUPPETRY (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JalenPhotos2) and that this same account re-created the article. As such, administrators may need to carefully monitor the progress of this AFD. As always, any close of this AFD should be based on the strength of the arguments rather than a mere vote count per WP:NOTAVOTE. 4meter4 (talk) 22:54, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I am copy pasting my detailed source analysis from the first AFD, as many of the sources are identical. I will add any new sources from this current version of the Coudrey article to this list in the next couple hours.4meter4 (talk) 23:00, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment :You have included a number of sources in the table that are not even mentioned in the article. By you not even looking at the article and realizing these sources aren't included, but still including them in your "source analysis", it coerces the opinions of the community under fraudulent pretenses. Further, if you did not review the article enough to realize your including analysis for sources not even mentioned in the Wikipedia article, how could you submit my article for deletion with any merit? If your actions truly are in good-faith, please also review new sources in your analysis and remove sources not included in the article. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 12:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I am the original author of the article. This article was originally deleted due to lack of WP:SIGCOV, which arose from a hostile dispute between myself and another community member. Many in the community agreed with me and the discussion was fruitful, but ended in a debatable deletion. I have since addressed the deletion points, by adding a substantial amount of new sources, primarily in the fields of business and investment discussing the subject which satisfy WP:SOURCE, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:GNG. In the above Source Analysis table 4meter4 copied the source analysis from the previous article deletion inquiry but he included source links for sources not even included in this article, and did not include any of the new sources on the list above, which coerces the opinions of the community under fraudulent pretenses. He did not review the article enough to realize he's analyzing sources not even mentioned in the Wikipedia entry, so how could he submit for deletion with any merit? He was also active on the last article, and appears to be acting as a "gate-keeper" of information, which is in contradiction to What Wikipedia is not guidelines. I have added WP:SIGCOV articles whereas the subject is the main point of the article, including Yahoo News, Seeking Alpha, Bloomberg, Pitch Deck, many based on the subjects funding rounds and company creations. I have also added source material that passes WP:SIGCOV, whereas the subject is not the main topic but is included as much more than a trivial mention. Due to what appears to be a bad-faith effort for deletion, I encourage everyone to preview the article and conduct their own source analysis rather than use someone else's. The article may need some cleanup, which is debatable, however it should not be excluded from Wikipedia based on all applicable guidelines being met.
  • Comment To clarify above WP:GNG notation. In regards to Presumed, these quoted pieces (which are more than a trivial mention) creates an assumption that a subject merits its own article because it is contradictory to 'what Wikipedia is not', particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Some of these news sources rely on the subjects 'expertise' in the fields of biotechnology or business, in which he is called upon to provide. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 10:17, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
