No notability outside of his website MacRumors. - Icewedge (talk) 22:50, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep: ...his extremely widely-read website that was recently profiled in the New York Times. Binarybits (talk) 22:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:BLP1E; his website is notable, he is not. No articles give him personally more than one or two sentences. - Icewedge (talk) 22:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Having a widely read website isn't "one event." He has been covered in mainstream media multiple times, including in the New York Times and the LA Times. The NYT story was a profile of him, not just a write-up of the website. The fact that he's notable because of founding MacRumors doesn't make him non-notable. Bill Gates is only famous because he founded Microsoft, but we wouldn't merge the Bill Gates entry into the Microsoft entry. Binarybits (talk) 04:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge to MacRumors. 70.110.29.236 (talk) 23:05, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to MacRumors. The website may have gained notability, but that notability is not inherited.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to MacRumors as he doesn't assert notability, the website does. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  23:21, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge --NZQRC (talk) 17:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The New York Times and Silicon Alley Insider articles referenced in the article show notability - they are more about Kim than about his web site. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:06, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe the sources satisfy the basic criteria of WP:BIO. Morbidthoughts (talk) 08:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
