Proposed deletion of Michael Dorf (entrepreneur)

Notice

The article Michael Dorf (entrepreneur) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article does not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines and lacks significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to demonstrate lasting encyclopedic value. Furthermore, this article has a long history of promotional editing, undisclosed paid editing, and conflict-of-interest violations, as documented on its Talk page. Multiple editors have repeatedly flagged its self-promotional tone, and past revisions contained material copied from the subject’s website. Given the pattern of promotional activity across multiple related articles (including Knitting Factory and City Winery), this article appears to exist to promote an individual and his business interests rather than provide an objective, verifiable encyclopedic entry.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:31, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
