Michael Mayo

• Delete. Vanity, albeit well-formatted vanity --Theo (Talk) 09:59, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  The more that [User:Jerryseinfeld|Jerryseinfeld]] adds to this article, the more convinced I become that this person is not notable. Mayo's level of achievement is such that even I would qualify for an article by such criteria.--Theo (Talk) 17:40, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Yes, well formatted, and probably someone's labour of love, but they didn't read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, or this wouldn't have existed in the first place. Master Thief Garrett 10:12, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 04:13, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable. Perhaps one of the world's five most notable research report writers for the world's largest market space; financial services. Still don't agree? This example may convince you: Name the ten best paid celebrities (entertainment, sports) (Forbes celebrities), you have probably heard of them. Name the ten best paid CEOs (Forbes CEOs), you may not have heard of all of them. But the compensation of the top 20 on the two lists almost perfectly match each other (at least during 2004). Forbes even has a list of the best paid business analysts (Forbes analysts). --Jerryseinfeld 20:35, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • You seem to know a lot about this man. If you want this article to be kept, please rewrite it so it doesn't sound so vain and chatty. Then I (and maybe others) will reconsider the previous vote. Remember, we're not voting on what *could* take up this namespace, only what *is* here right now. An article on Bill Gates would be deleted if it was as chatty as this. It's not the potential, it's the content right now. If this is not rewritten it will be deleted, and someone at a later date may choose to recreate it properly.

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

First: what "relevant live page"? The live page was deleted. Second: It was wrong to delete that article, if you do a search on mike mayo you'll see that he's among the most well respected analyst on the street, he has even testified before a senate banking committee in 2002 (Testimony on conflicts of itnterest). Please restore the article on him that I contributed to.--Jerryseinfeld 07:56, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
