Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francis Pollara (3rd nomination)
I can't say I remember that AFD ten years ago, and apparently I didn't bother watchlisting this or I would've nominated it again when it was recreated six months later. This is |puffery, largely done by |single purpose accounts likely to have some sort of relationship to the article subject. I can't say I have ever seen Kickstarter used as an article source before, and we've also got Facebook in there and something called "Like Cool" that I've never heard of. If you have to go to those kinds of lengths to create the illusion of notability (along with what appears to be a lot of exaggerating if not outright lying) the subject almost certainly is ''not'' notable. I did look at the LA Times source, as they could confer some degree of notability, and I note that while it is hosted by LA Times, the article was in fact in one of their regional suburban papers, the La Canada Valley Sun. (which coincidentally the Sun just sold off two days ago). Given the aggressive recreations of this article permanent create protection seems in order after deletion
