This is purely advertising. Th only possible source appears to be two mentions in the LA Business journal of it being the 32nd largest and 8th fastest growing in the county. From my experience, these are a simple table with maybe a blurb. That is not enough to create an article for the company or assert notability. Biography notability is an even higher hurdle so being the CEO of the company does not met requirements. Furthermore, The American Advisor "radio" show appears to be a podcast "sponsored" by the company. Cptnono (talk) 06:02, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The "32nd largest" or "8th fastest growing" of anything is probably not notable for that fact alone. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:17, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, insufficient coverage in reliable third party sources to verify notability per WP:BIO. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge, I created this article with good intentions; I am sorry that I have not been sufficiently expanding it; I expanded the lead and cited the source today (here [1]); if Joe is not sufficiently notable, could I create an article on Goldline International, Inc., and then MERGE Joe's article into that one? I am trying to make helpful suggestions; thank you for your consideration. Take care. ProfessorPaul (talk) 01:55, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge, I have created the article Goldline International, Inc.; please feel free to review this article; may I suggest that it may be appropriate to consider MERGING the Joseph C. Battaglia article into the Goldline article. Take care. ProfessorPaul (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That article does not meet various standards (yet?). I'll make some comments on that talk page.Cptnono (talk) 03:00, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
