Andrew Kessler
There are no specific news references which discuss the bio of this individual as a person. He is just associated with notable clients. Wikipedia is not an advertising or promotional source and the creators seem to be single purpose accounts. Whereas many sports agents represent notable clientele only few rise to the level of notability themselves. Musketeer00 (talk)
That is not true, there are numerous specific news references listed from reputable websites such as ESPN.Com, and Profootballtalk.com which specificlaly discuss the person and his notoriety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigsmoothe (talk • contribs) 22:28, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Bigsmoothe you are correct but regrettably the articles (several needed) would have to be about the agent himself stand alone articles not quotes from him about other notable clients. Musketeer00 (talk)

- Keep The Pro Football Talk article is mainly about Kessler himself and his impact on his company and his industry when he made the move there, it is not him talking about his clients. Also, the NFL.Com Article shown through Zoom (which only cannot be linked directly to NFL.Com because NFL Reporter Adam Schefter no longer works there and thus his articles are no longer up) has a part which is specifically about Kessler as well. Additionally, he has added notoriety because his father is so well known in the sports business world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigsmoothe (talk • contribs) 18:12, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I agree with Paul McDonald. The tone of article is self-promoting, written poorly and just not enough good sourcing to substantiate a wikipedia inclusion. (SephiusIV (talk) 20:02, 31 August 2010 (UTC))[reply]
- Delete A man doing a job. He negotiates contracts. The notability (if any) of his clients does not rub off. Peridon (talk) 21:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
