Deletion of Eugene Mosher

Comment: The only valid deletion criterion I see in the nomination is that it appears to fail  and lacks |verifiable references that would support notability. It may be an |autobiography (it was created by an Oregon-based IP in 2004 and the subject appears to have edited the article and provided images) by that isn't necessarily a reason for deletion. This AfD should address notability only

Comment: After studying the available references (not, like the nom says, web-only, but in fact including two print newspapers) and not finding any more |reliable sources on the Internet, nor in news, books or magazines, especially ''|independent'' sources, I have to conclude that this article does not pass |general notability, nor |notability for biographies (and more specifically |biographies of creative professionals), especially in terms of ''significant'' coverage. After having removed much unsourced material from the article (which appears to have been |added by the article's subject), the remaining sources are two hometown papers from two of Mr. Mosher's hometowns, one of which mentions about 10 clients for his company, and another which mentions a few hundred. So redirecting, say, to an article about his company ViewTouch isn't a solution, as the company would not pass . Per criterion #2 of , it might be possible that Mr. Mosher "is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique" However, though it appears Mr. Mosher may indeed be a pioneer in the POS field, nobody seems to be claiming this except Mr. Mosher himself, and though it might be a great injustice that he is not getting the credit due him, that is not Wikipedia's problem. I also resent what appears to be an attempt by the article's subject to use Wikipedia to promote himself. I did my due diligence before coming to that conclusion and had hoped it wasn't the case. I'd suggest Mr. Mosher work on his AboutUs page instead. Wikipedia is |not here to provide free advertising space
