WP:NN entrepreneur. G-hits appear to be all press releases or promotional placements Toddst1 (talk) 07:25, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Is this where I respond? A conflict of interest as in do I work for or have a stake in these topics. No, do you want my ID and to call my boss? I feel offended I worked very hard to make these great (and naturally neutral). My meticulous, insomniac writings are being threatened and I'm being accused of advertising.

What's a G-hit. There's not one press release and Conde Naste and Gawker (making fun of Hound.com and A Harrison Barnes) is not promotional. Samuelmccarthy (talk) 07:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * "G-hit" is short for "Google hit" - Google search results, often used as an initial rough guide of notability.--94.196.126.123 (talk) 10:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:N. Simply being a successful entrepreneur is not a sufficient notability requirement. Taroaldo (talk) 08:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

It's not just a successful entrepreneur, it's a person who's changed how we find jobs in our internet world. Samuelmccarthy (talk) 08:22, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

The third editor changed Hound.com to just a notability tag, which I will fix. Can you clear this one up already too, I am going to be making articles all the time, I don't want to be tarnished and he is notable for changing the very way people find employment.

 * Delete per WP:BIO and WP:N. The Hound.Com article is also pretty shaky and will probably be deleted too if it can't be brought up to WP:WEB notability guidelines. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  10:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:N. A search on google shows that he's been name dropped a few times and used for reference purposes, but nothing has been written solely about him, which is what the notability guidelines require. Themfromspace (talk) 12:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable; no significant hits in Google News from independent sources. Drmies (talk) 20:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Just found a bunch of articles from independent sources about HIM by searching his full name "Andrew Harrison Barnes"!! Don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier. Samuelmccarthy (talk) 04:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
