Redirect to List of Jeopardy! contestants#David Madden

Most of this article is in List of Jeopardy! contestants#David Madden. The refs are mostly WP:PRIMARY, and the non-primary refs are thin and from lower-quality sources. The article had a lot of promo material about his for-profit educational enterprises that have no notability, and were all Redirected at AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Geography Bee.

Article used for promotion

I see that IPs keep adding material related to the business interests of the subject, although they are never presented as being 'for-profit' (which they are). They are largely non-referenced, as his business interests are non-notable. I don't think this article has a long-term future in Wikipedia as the subject himself is barely notable (the referencing is very poor), and I think its inclusion in Wikipedia is from fans of the quiz.

Article Restored for AFD

This article was cut down to a redirect to List of Jeopardy! contestants#David Madden by User:Aszx5000, but there was no consensus, because the blank and redirect was done unilaterally rather than after discussion. I am reverting the article back to the previous version. Any editor who thinks that it should cut down to a redirect is requested to submit an AFD nomination to allow a rough consensus of the community to decide.
