Hi, yes I understand that this is a collaborative project. I was simply trying to respond to the concerns about the page in a direct manner, and didn't wish to imply I "own" it.

I want to address comments that this page be deleted because of "notability" - Paul Scanlan is the co-founder of two companies (MobiTV and Legion M) that have been featured in national, top-tier publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and others and have secured hundreds of millions in funding (See MobiTV and Legion M pages).

MobiTV was the very first company to stream video onto mobile devices - please see citation from NBC News (which I've added to MobiTV's page):. MobiTV (of which Scanlan is a co-founder and current president) - with its mobile tv service - worked with partners including AT&T, Sprint, T Mobile, ABC, ESPN, Disney and CBS. The company is now operating in the pay tv business by helping cable operators migrate their delivery from set-top boxes to retail devices such as Roku

Legion M is the first fan-owned entertainment company and is powered by the 2012 Jobs Act. They've released films such as "Colossal" (Starring Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis) that was reviewed by The Atlantic and Variety. They've just released "Bad Samaritan" starring David Tennent on May 4, 2018. The company has partnered with Stan Lee and Kevin Smith for a virtual interview series that was covered by Fast Company:.

I ask that this page not be deleted as Paul Scanlan clears the bar for a successful and notable business person via his creation of these two companies. Alexanderson89 (talk) 23:35, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Alexanderson89
