Luke Heron

Does not pass on basis of notability as per WP:BIO and conflict of interest as per WP:COI. The subject of this article does not meet notability standards. Nearly all references to this subject have been prompted by the subject himself (i.e., personal website, facebook listing, linkedin). As per his own website, there is nothing particularly notable about his career and he has not garnered any significant coverage from any real news source. Additionally, the article was created by several Single-purpose accounts prompting concerns over WP:COI. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 15:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - In addition to nominating the article, I spend a significant amount of my time on wikipedia in and around the private equity section and have been spearheading the Private Equity Task Force. Although this does not give me any special say as to what is and is not notable, I can provide some perspective. This appears to be just a young, self-promoter with no real notability and should hav been a good candidate for speedy deletion. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 15:57, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I declined a speedy request on this as there was no legitimate reason given – it's certainly not blatant enough to qualify as spam – but he doesn't appear any different from any other reasonably successful venture capitalist. – iride scent 16:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BIO, nothing notable about this guy,borderline spam.--Xp54321^{(Hello! • Contribs)} 16:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No sources, completely unverifiable, and badly fails WP:BIO. ^S._D.Jameson 21:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Blatant self-advertisement. Lajolla2009 (talk) 22:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know that I would call it "blatant", or even "self-advertisement." It just seems like a guy who's not notable enough for an article, as I pointed out above. ^S._D.Jameson 22:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - seems to be a fairly straightforward delete and would propose closure.|► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 01:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
