 * Strong delete - Completely not notable. The Sixers' Jack Nicholson?  I suggest that there is a huge, huge (huge) chasm separating the two. Caro7200 (talk) 03:59, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a trivial comment and should be deleted. I'm not sure that takes away from his notability, though.Pennsylvania2 (talk) 23:58, 9 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep- There are lots of sources covering Horwitz's fandom and business career. Coverage from Bloomberg, Philadelphia Magazine, NBC Sports Philadelphia, SB Nation and more signifies he is notable. His scuffles with NBA stars, including Kobe Bryant, Rajon Rondo and Kyle Lowry and the resulting coverage, puts him into the notability category. Nav Bhatia, a Raptors superfan, has a Wikipedia page. Horwitz is just as notable, if not more. Pennsylvania2 (talk) 19:27, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there's also Clipper Darrell, whose article I remember making a ce edit to last year. I think Alan Horwitz and Nav Bhatia are more cases of rich guys who've had season tickets forever.  Horwitz, Nicholson, and Lou Adler all started attending games of their respective teams in the '60s, for example, but only the latter two are actually notable people. Interested to hear what other editors have to say. Caro7200 (talk) 22:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - As far as I can see he passes WP:GNG with articles like these from NBC Sports, Heavy.com, The Toronto Star and The Philadelpha Inquirer. - Alvaldi (talk) 20:03, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep- I see him at Sixers games and everyone including the players and announcers know him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:45:4000:c590:d6:eaac:2a21:a1db (talk) 22:02, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
