Matt Thomas
Hi UAE79 and welcome again to Wikipedia. I am one of the volunteers who reviews new articles for adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines. You will find the most important principles in the message above. One of them is notability. Notability is established about subjects that see considerable coverage to some depth and over time. While there are lots of articles mentioning Matt Thomas, they are all in relation to the company he runs. In order to be notable, I would expect coverage in independent, reputable sources about the person. I have therefore redirected his article to guide people searching for this name to the company. This seems in line with how the majority of sources on the internet reflect on the individual. If you have any questions, please let me know. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 16:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Jake Brockman, thank you for the welcome. About the Matt Thomas article, he was the first person to use teas in a commercial Kombucha drink. He came up with the idea, and there is plenty of press about this, so it really should have a Wikipedia article. I was going to expand the article and look at this more in depth, as well as expand the Kombucha article with this info, so would appreciate the chance to continue to work on it. Thank you!

 * I'd suggest to work this into Brew Dr. Kombucha - that article is quite weak and could do with some expansion and better references. If this is so unique (which I don't know) it may make sense to reverse-engineer from the company. We can then decide if it makes sense to split out an article for Mr. Thomas. For an individual bio I would expect a basic framework of i) date/place of birth, ii) schooling/education, iii) family background, iv) anecdotes about his life outside the company. These should be from non-related sources (i.e. no press-releases, company websites) in notable media (no blogs or forums). I hope this makes sense. I can help you review sources for suitability if you find some. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 17:53, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
