Article about a business executive that fails our WP:GNG and WP:INDEPTH criteria. The few reliable sources that are used as refs are just WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS of the subject. Possible WP:PROMO. Recommend WP:SALT. Jamiebuba (talk) 20:53, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Almost certainly a UPE-editor (they have another UPE-BLP in draft); and a skilled one (i.e. this was an expensive UPE). Over 46 refs - when I saw this first I thought, come on OP, you need to go through these refs for us. However, even from a first pass, most look like junk/spam/primary RS. Will take a little longer to go through this BLP properly, but I suspect that this is non-notable. Aszx5000 (talk) 22:42, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This BLP is extraordinarily promotional with lines like: "McCullough played a crucial role in supporting the CFO community amidst the banking crisis triggered by the collapses of First Republic Bank and Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in March 2023". Certainly a 100% UPE/PROMO article, and a borderline G11 case. Aszx5000 (talk) 22:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete per nom, and per comment by Aszx5000. 43 Refs and a runthrough sample they look primary, promo and then passing mentions. Disagree with Salt - a more neutral editor may be able to revive an article here, possibly post TNT. ResonantDis_tortion 22:55, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
