I am nominating this article for deletion ostensibly on grounds on notability (though the tone and content could use some work).
Put simply, being quoted by newspapers is insufficient to achieve notability. We need reliable sources that talk about William Jordan, not mention him is passing. It worries me that for all the "emminence" that is being claimed in the article, not a single meaty source has yet been provided. If several could be found, then obviously we ought to keep the article. Thanks, - Jarry1250 Humorous? Discuss. 19:11, 19 February 2010 (UTC) reply
CNBC's Wall Street Journal Report, Closing Bell and Power Lunch are programs where William Jordan was asked to talk as an authority in the field of personal finance. (Visit williamjordanassociates.com for clips and pdf's of articles.) Why do they like him? Because he is an independent expert in his field. He is not tied to AIG or Charles Schwab or Fidelity. Jordan is not just referenced in passing, he is the reference for these articles, programs and publications. Heath224 ( talk) 06:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC) reply
And again direct advice from William Jordan on the subject of creating a retirement paycheck from Kiplinger June 25, 2008 article, Creating a Retirement Paycheck, by Kathryn Walson: Try not to tap principal in the early years of retirement. One way to generate income without tapping principal is to shift more of the stock portfolio into dividend payers. "Dividend-paying stocks allow retirees to take income no matter whether stocks go up or down," says William Jordan, president of the Sentinel Group, in Laguna Hills, Cal. If your mutual funds pay dividends on a quarterly basis, take the cash for your reserve fund rather than reinvesting.
Angie Rust, 67, who lives in Orange, Cal., retired last June from her job as a manager with an engineering firm. With Jordan's help, she set up a withdrawal strategy that will enable her to take a cruise every other year. Heath224 ( talk) 19:30, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply
Yes. Consistently being quoted by reliable secondary sources does, according to Wikipedia Notability in a Nutshell, make one notable: Wikipedia covers notable topics - those that are "worthy of notice" and have been "noticed" to a significant degree by the world at large. A topic that is suitable for inclusion and has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. Notability does not directly affect the content of articles, but only their existence.
At the same time, in two of the four Kiplinger's articles Jordan's clients are profiled through the entire article. They are the article. The writer takes these individuals as a case study -- per Jordan's strategies as to what to do: 1) when one is facing retirement (Kiplinger June 25, 2008, Kathryn Walson) 2) when one is self-employed around at tax time(Kiplinger, March 2008 by Jeffery Kosnett and David Landis). This is also the case in the January FORBES article, The Great 401(k) Escape. This article is about Jordan's client and the strategies he is employing to help his client invest money from his 401(k) into other investment opportunities, since the client is 59 years old or over. Jordan's advice "address[es] the subject directly in detail." Heath224 ( talk) 19:30, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply
