The result was delete. While it being a autobiography or a paid biography is not a reason for deletion, lack of notability sure is. SoWhy 17:44, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Entirely non-notable and probably an autobiography given that Special:Contributions/Jannajoos has only created this page yesterday and is just expanding it and linking all of Ford's non-notable roles (likely just an extra) to this page.

The page, if not deleted, is terribly written and needs WP:DYNAMITE, but I just don't see the notability to keep that. It's full of nonsense aggrandizement and weasel words and vague allusions and sentence fragments. And the top "reference" is to the Wikipedia main page.

Note: not an autobiography, but per this edit summary, the SPA Jannajoos (who is evidently using her real name), identifies the subject of this article as "[her] client". Put paid editor notice on her talk page. JesseRafe (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further note: Janna Joos can't seem to help themselves on their own talk page (and is probably rewriting another missive to no one as we speak or otherwise continuing WP:NOTGETTINGIT), but I just wanted to point out somewhere that someone has been trying to make an article on Ford for over a decade, whether another manager (or Manage her?) or Ford herself. Not worth an SPI, but it's definitely a concerted effort by:
A lot of similar language and tone used in the above (film talk page requests, user pages as articles, etc.) as found on this article. Of note here, is that all of these accounts seem to have an obvious COI regarding this subject, not organic page creation attempts. JesseRafe (talk) 20:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
