Why delete?

Hmm - I've no wp:COI with the person (nor any associated body) to whom the article relates. Never corresponded with him nor spoken to him. However, I feel he is notable, & will seek to persuade other editors of this, here.

I am new to deletions, although I hope I'm a time-served & trusted editor. Please give me a little time to read up on CSD G11. I'm happy to take any and all steps to make the article less advert-like. But if you read the subject's posts held, I'm sure you'd at least feel he is noteworthy, and merits inclusion in the encyclopedia.

Thank you for your forbearance - I'll be back to add more discussion, and assume I can un-advert the article in the meantime (suggestions or help welcome), Trafford09 (talk) 15:32, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, whilst I realise that I should have created this in my sandbox, I did at least put {{construction}} on it - which is still there. Is it unusual to CSD an article still under construction? Trafford09 (talk)
