Why no article about Brian Tracy?[edit]

Hi all!

Wikipedia works in mysterious ways... There are articles about so many people (including pornstars) but some famous people are missing. Is there anyone who could create an article about Brian Tracy? The guys is a world famous speaker, businessman and writer. He has more than 1 million followers and Facebook. Any chance? Thanks a lot!! 114.108.247.14 (talk) 02:49, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't the proper venue for that. See Articles for Creation and/or Requested articles. Also, you should be aware of Wikipedia's notability guidelines and the requirements described at Reliable Sources.--William Thweatt ^Talk^Contribs 02:58, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If he is world famous, why did I need to resort to Google to find out who he is? Anyway, see Wikipedia:Notability (people). Biographies are justified by evidence of significant coverage in third-party published reliable sources, and not by Facebook follower counts. And I note that articles on him (or someone by the same name) have already been deleted four times for being blatent advertising and/or failing to demonstrate notability through independent sources. [1] So I can't imaging anyone but his promoters will be interested in trying again. And if his promoters (or the man himself) want to try again, they should read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest first. We aren't here to provide free publicity. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:59, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to at least tell us which magazine you're talking about. SteveBaker (talk) 18:15, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most magazines have (somewhere near the front) a column of relatively fine print about the publisher, including contact info for the subscription department. —Tamfang (talk) 04:07, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
