Talk:Evan Williams (Internet entrepreneur)

Notability
OK, so the article needs more references, but the guy co-founded blogger.com. I'll do some work if it requires it to avoid the ax. I don't quite see how this remotely qualifies for speedy, as it has an assertion of notability. The companies are all blue links and have been in existence for some time. --Dhartung | Talk 05:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Dhartung - Fair enough. I did not know this about him. If you could clean it up, that would be great. --Albertgonzales22323|Talk 05:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved to Evan Williams (Internet entrepreneur) Wbm1058 (talk) 00:55, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Evan Williams (entrepreneur) → Evan Williams (entrepreneur, born 1972) – or perhaps Evan Williams (Internet entrepreneur). The current parenthetical disambiguation is inadequate to distinguish this entrepreneur from the entrepreneur who was a Kentucky pioneer that founded a whiskey distillery in the late 1700s. The second-best-selling Kentucky bourbon is named after the distiller, and his name also graces the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, a tourist attraction featured on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, so he has not faded into obscurity. Although there is no self-standing article about the historical entrepreneur, he is discussed in the Evan Williams (whiskey) article, which gets a few thousand page views per month (and per WP:DAB, having a self-standing article does not determine whether disambiguation is needed).

 * Support either option - plentiful notability for the bourbon entrepreneur in Google Books. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:22, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: Comma added above per WP:NCPDAB: " Name (qualifier, born YYYY) ". —BarrelProof (talk) 05:08, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * support internet entrepeneur only, adding birthyear isnt necessary, only type of work done.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:28, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support either - I prefer "born 1972", and I would hope that the subject expands to other things not connected to Internet. However, maybe this isn't his field because he is an internet man. --Gh87 in the public computer (talk) 19:00, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisting comment: We have consensus to move, and the very roughest consensus that it should be to Evan Williams (Internet entrepreneur). I think we should give the opportunity to consider this choice a little further. Andrewa (talk) 17:08, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that Evan Williams (Internet entrepreneur) seems best at this point. It seems like a much more helpful phrase, because hardly anyone will know his year of birth, but he is certainly well-known to fit the description of "Internet entrepreneur". —BarrelProof (talk) 03:28, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No comments for nearly ten days and no disagreement. How about someone closing this? —BarrelProof (talk) 21:51, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Nothing but support has been expressed since the relisting comment more than three weeks ago. How about someone closing this? —BarrelProof (talk) 16:16, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
