Talk:Bob Lee (businessman)

"Founder of Cash App"
Bob helped write the first version of the Cash App but it seems weird to say he founded something that's not a business? It was part of his existing role as CTO at Square (now Block) 142.254.86.144 (talk) 19:28, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It's from the available sources, and doesn't appear to be an issue of citogenesis like I was half-expecting, but for example: "The moments following the San Francisco stabbing attack of Cash App founder Bob Lee ..." (CNN) "Cash App founder Bob Lee stabbed and killed in San Francisco" (NBC News headline), etc. —Locke Cole • t • c 14:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Name of Child. Dagny or Damien
"The couple had two young daughters together: Dagny "Bobkat" Lee" - Wikipedia article

But NBC writes: "They had two children, Damien, 17, and Scout, 14. Damien Lee said his father was a down-to-earth person who always listened." Daniel Maak (talk) 04:59, 6 April 2023 (UTC)


 * The NBC news article doesn't say the genders of the kids. (Scout can be names of both boys and girls I think.) It would be more appropriate to only say that they had two kids, as the source doesn't really say what the prose here does. SWinxy (talk) 01:05, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Scout is the couple's daughter. Justanother2 (talk) 07:33, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * There's now a proper RS conflict here, with The New York Times saying "daughters". So I've changed it to "children" absent clarification, with a hidden comment to that effect. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 07:25, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * According to The Wall Street Journal, their names are Dagny & Scout & they’re named after characters in Atlas Shrugged & To Kill a Mockingbird. Both characters are female, but The Wall Street Journal uses children instead of daughters to refer to them. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 20:45, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Name of Article
I believe the original name of this article was better and better-reflected what Bob Lee was and did...Bob Lee (Tech executive)...rather than Bob Lee (businessman). He wasn't about making money, he was about Tech innovation! Ryoung 122 00:13, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I see no precedent for the use of (tech executive) as a disambiguator. I do see some for the (executive) disambiguator but I figured (businessman) would be more ambiguous and cover Bob Lee's work better. Célestin Denis (talk) 15:14, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Bob Lee (businessman) → Bob Lee
 * Bob Lee → Bob Lee (disambiguation)
 * Oppose Robert E. Lee is sometimes referred to in this manner. If we move this, it should point to the Confederate General -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 06:24, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. No primary topic. Fine as it is. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
