CSD contested. Article sounds spammy and lists many promotional refs (including self-published Apple Letter of Recommendation). He had some media appearances on social media but fails WP:CREATIVE. Dewritech (talk) 20:12, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dewritech, please help us to optimize the article.

As mentioned by Azubi-Deluxe (talk) on 20:27, 7 February 2015 (UTC):[reply]

This article should not be deleted for lack of asserted importance or promotional refs because

  1. Mr. Croome is a public person and relevant in his industry, where he was one of the first (digital marketing) entrepreneurs more than 24 years ago.
  2. He wrote and published several books and audio/video publications.
  3. He regularly appears on public TV, in radio-shows and print-media, like magazine and newspapers.
  4. He is consulted by public and private media, the German government and businesses for his expertise and opinion.
  5. He is a lecturer for the acclaimed Mediadesign Hochschule in Munich, Steinbeis-Hochschule Berlin (HSB) and the University of the German Speakers Association.
  6. Since more than 20 years he gives public speeches on digital marketing and new technologies trends.

Why does the article sound "spammy"? The self published Apple letter is an official signed Apple document. Mr. Croome has not "some media appearances in Social Media", but regular presence on public TV and radio.

Everything is referenced within the Wikipedia article and below…

We would be more than happy to change and fix any content, if it does not comply with the Wikipedia rules. Please stop deleting the entry. Thank you very much!

His Klout-score (77) is showing his influence in social media.

  • Delete, notability per WP:N not proven by sources provided. There do not seem to be any independent sources confirming or even really hinting at his notability, or non-trivial coverage with Mr Croome as the primary subject. If there was an independent source stating clearly that he was a pioneer in his field, that he is recognised as one of the first digital marketing entrepreneur etc., that would be something, but I can't find any such thing. What we have here, based on the sources given, is a non-notable public speaker and social media personality. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ 14:44, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I am very reluctant not to accept WP articles for German subjects covered by articles in the German WP, a WP with generally higher standards than our own. The editing history of the article there is not reassuring, especially since most of their edits are by a user named "Croome"; I do not think this would, if he were in an English speaking country, meet our requirements.
