Andrew Doe

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

non-notable businessman, doesn't meet notability guidelines. One mention in the Guardian however. Richard Hock (talk) 17:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC) 
 *  Delete . Looks non-notable to me.  Linguist At Large  17:27, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Shoessss has me convinced that he's (barely) notable enough.  Linguist At Large  21:39, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – Able to find this with a quick Google News search.  Not sure if the piece should be about Confetti or Andrew Doe.  Likewise, a general Google search showed these results Overall, believe he or his company meet the notability guidelines. Hope this helps.  ShoesssS Talk 21:18, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The nominator himself provides a source which demonstrates notability. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:45, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as fails WP:BIO. The sources cited above are trivial and fail WP:NOT. The article itself contains no evidence that this web retailer has established notability in his field, or anywhere else.--Gavin Collins (talk) 13:36, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment This relist was unintentional, I missed the first orange line when reviewing the log. However, it looks like the discussion could use a little more imput so I'll leave it be. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:52, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Crot has heard of Confetti plenty & even bought himself a bubblegun there, WP:IAR. Never of Doe though. Franciscrot (talk) 01:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * (Crot believes his bubblegun is notable, only notability non-heritable). Author of Doe (Doe?) better off authoring Confetti article? Franciscrot (talk) 13:44, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It is just conceivable that the company might be just barely notable, but i don't see how he is. DGG (talk) 03:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Initially I was excited when I started to read the piece. It started like a really good entry. Then, however, it went nowhere. The sources are poor and an major independent on the individual is non-existent. The company, after some searching is semi-noteworthy at best but the individual seems to be lacking in three major categories: 1. notability, 2. references and 3. general importance to a substantial group. Also, one would need to know his actual input into the company.Royalhistorian (talk) 06:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — no significant coverage established through the usual reliable sources. Notability not established. MuZemike  ( talk ) 03:47, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete/rename: what little sourcing is there is focused on the company, not the co-founder. If enough can be cobbled together then rename it 'Confetti (company)' (or similar), otherwise delete. HrafnTalkStalk 17:37, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
