This article is being nominated for deletion due to concerns about its adherence to Wikipedia's core policies and guidelines, particularly those relating to biographies of living persons (BLP), neutrality, and self-promotion. The specific issues are as follows:
- Single-Purpose Accounts: The page's creation and most of its edits are attributed to two users, User:NoSelfPromotion and User:Jason7477. These accounts appear to be single-purpose, dedicated solely to this article, suggesting a potential conflict of interest.
- Potential Autobiography: The username User:Jason7477 closely resembles the subject of the article, Jason Drummond, implying that the subject may have contributed to their own biography, in violation of Wikipedia's autobiography and neutrality guidelines.
- Long-Standing Tags for Multiple Issues: The article has carried tags for 'multiple issues,' including neutrality disputes, for nearly four years, indicating persistent, unresolved concerns about its compliance with Wikipedia's quality standards.
- Content Resembling a Resume: The article's tone and structure more closely resemble a resume than an encyclopedic entry, which is inappropriate and promotional in nature.
- Overreliance on Primary Sources: The article relies heavily on primary sources, contrary to Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sourcing, especially concerning biographies of living persons, thereby raising doubts about the content's verifiability and neutrality.
Given the long-standing nature of these issues, the patterns of single-purpose editing, and the article's overall tone and sourcing, and resume-nature, it appears that this page functions more as a vehicle for self-promotion than as a neutral, verifiable, and encyclopedically valuable piece. I therefore propose this page for deletion in line with Wikipedia's deletion policies.
