A BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. The subject is only notable for being a CEO of DogVacay; the coverage that comes up is not independent of the company and/or WP:SPIP, such as "DogVacay's Aaron Hirschhorn on how founders can control the ... TechCrunch-May 15, 2016" or "Rover.com acquires Santa Monica dog-sitting start-up DogVacay ... Los Angeles Times-Mar 29, 2017 Last fall, Aaron Hirschhorn was telling investors that his Santa Monica start-up DogVacay had quarterly sales that tripled..." . The company was acquired earlier this year, so he may not stay on as a CEO, so a redirect is not appropriate, IMO. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:14, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Dogvacay as a reasonable search term, per WP:ATD-R. North America1000 05:48, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Nom's comment -- I'm generally not in favour of BLP redirects to a company name. The company was recently sold, so he may not be associated with it in the future. The company could be merged / the article moved, and the redirect would not be appropriate. He's otherwise a non notable individual, there's no need to preserve the article history.

 * Delete Specifically lacking reliable sources the cover needed biographical details on the subject fails WP:BIO, GNG, and BLP. Coverage consists of WP:SPIP sources that significantly cover and promote the subject's startup DogVacay, not this subject, hence notability is not inherited from association with a company. Also, the WP:SPIP sources indicate this page is intended to be another advertising platform for subject's company (and possibly the subject as well) - Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion WP:PROMO. I also agree that a redirect in this instance would not be appropriate because the company has been acquired by another entity. More acquisitions could make this situation even more tenuous. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:05, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
