Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Van (4th nomination)
Always interesting to see a 4th nomination.  One problem is that article may be autobiographic, at least in part, but that is not a reason to delete, even if true.  Biggest problem - lack of |reliable sources.  There is one very puffy profile in the Boston Globe http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2005/06/23/his_numbers_are_in_the_ballpark/ - Van was a contributor to the Boston Globe at the time, so it is a bit incestuous.  The general notability guideline says that for a presumption of notability we need: ''significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject'' - it seems to me that we have here ''somewhat significant coverage in only one reliable source, one that is not in this case demonstrably independent of the subject
