Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glen Coulter
Ottawahitech has a longstanding pattern of creating articles which single-source the fact that the topic ''exists'', while completely ''failing'' to ''actually'' substantiate any actual evidence of encyclopedic ''notability'' beyond "this topic can be sourced as existing". (As I've pointed out before, however, ''I'' can be reliably sourced as existing, and so can the woman who lives a mile down the road from my parents who woke up one morning to find a pig in her front yard — so she and I would both have Wikipedia articles if "reliable sources attest that this person exists" were all it took to satisfy  and the ''context'' in which that coverage was being ''given'' didn't actually have to pass any standards of ''significance''.) In this particular instance, I find it especially fascinating — as written, this article just hagiographies the positive side of his work and portrays him as an unqualified success, but on a ProQuest search what I found is that the ''strongest'' case for inclusion would be that his mortgage brokership "empire" ''collapsed'' in a 1989 ''bankruptcy'' filing. I'm not, however, finding evidence that the collapse had anything ''more'' than purely ''local'' effects, so I consider it a purely local  that's ''not'' worth actually upgrading with the ''real'' basis for notability — his significance does ''not'' extend far enough ''beyond'' the purely local to justify us violating his personal financial privacy rights by pulling his company's collapse out of the newspaper archives and into one of the most widely read websites on the entire planet
