This page got deleted a decade ago, and seems to have been ressurected a few years ago under everyone's noses. I wouldn't have even noticed if he wasn't tagging this article by putting captions under notable people's profile pics like 'soandso by David Shankbone', with his name linking to this page. Nothing has been added since the ancient deletion, and this page reads like a resume, not an informative article. I hope wikipedia can bill him for the money he made using them as a sponsor. A user by the name of 93 seems to have taken special interest in the ressurection of this deleted page against arbcom's will. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.221.146.93 (talk) 07:11, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because it's unclear how WP:G4 actually applies; IOW, whether this is substantially the same article as it was when it was deleted in 2009 or a new one. --Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:37, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
The article was deleted through AfD and later subject to two deletion reviews, and it was decided not to be restored. The article is largely the same as it was in 2009, when it was deleted. See It is not that different, just three new sources. --Kuatrero (talk) 21:47, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Those three new sources are a fine reason to restore. The nomination was specifically due to the fact that there weren't enough reliable sources: "This article uses spurious sourcing (namely the subject's blog, various other blogs, and Wikinews) to create a piece that appears to be a valid article, yet really isn't. It should be noted that the subject of the article has an account on Misplaced Pages (User:David Shankbone). While there are news references to the subject, there isn't sufficient coverage to merit inclusion. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)" Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/David Shankbone --GRuban (talk) 15:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
I've added a cite of the Business Insider article about him that included examples of his work. That "Articles for deletion" discussion took place 11 years ago. David Shankbone is notable. Carlstak (talk) 16:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
