There are dozens of sources but very few that are secondary and independent or any kind of significant coverage. Most of it is primary stuff and brief mentions. I believe the only case for notability could be his role as a cofounder of the Africa Express project, but that seems too weak to me. Ynsfial (talk) 03:01, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, the article seems completely fine for EnWiki. It's a little barren, yeah, and I didn't spend too much time looking through it, but I still think that it should be kept.

• Delete: as per nomination by Ynsfial. There has clearly been a lot of COI editing on the article but despite extensive sourcing it doesn't seem that notability guidelines are met. Axad12 (talk) 17:47, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - absolutely rife with undisclosed COI editing since its very creation. Would be a mammoth task to strip away all the advertorial junk and undo the most egregious additions from COI editors only to be left with an article of dubious notability.

• Delete I opened twenty (random) of the article's 77 cites. Not a single one wasn't an interview with Budd, a passing mention of Budd (usually a single sentence), something not mentioning Budd at all, something written or published by Budd himself, etc. Anyone who !votes keep needs to identify three or four notability-lending sources (and quote them if not available on line). Otherwise this is a clear delete.
  And even if notability can be established, well, um ...
