Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Townsend
He probably meets WP:BIO per W.Marsh, so the article probably can be |cleaned |up.  But, while in most AfD's we should evaluate the potential, not the current, state of the article, in a case of |conflict of interest concerns I feel the article should be deleted even if the article has potential.  Article creators are explicitly advised on the edit page boilerplate not to |"write articles about yourself, your company, or your best friend."  It is not appropriate for single-purpose accounts to shoehorn articles about themselves into Wikipedia by creating an article and then having other, disinterested, editors bring the article up to Wikipedia |stan|dards
