Neither the article nor a Google search indicates independent notability. Not enough information to be encyclopedic and not a useful stub. (External link is not in English.) Appears to have the objective of SEO by putting the name in Wikipedia. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:54, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - The article is sparse to say the least (and needs expanding), but he's got 1,370 google-news hits, including some covering him as a subject and multiple quotations of him.    There is possibly much more coverage in Italian - seems he was a TV producer and host, and at age 28 sold a company to telecom italia. He has an IMDB entry - (credits in a few movies and TV shows - Italian - I can't ascertain significance)  Seems Bibop was a nickname (or TV/movie character) - he was originally Gabriele Gresta And now styles himself as Bibop G.

 * In-depth sources are required. There are none. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:29, 14 March 2017 (UTC).
 * In this case I would say there is an abundance of sources, including in depth ones as clearly evident from a quick source search. What is lacking is editor interest (myself included) in actually expanding this entry from a stub.Icewhiz (talk) 21:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Source pre-Hyperloop - he was the subject of an hour-long TV documentary ("Life of Bipop") on Rai 2 (one of the main Italian TV channels). Can be seen here       Icewhiz (talk) 06:47, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment Current in-depth sources are hard to spot between the weeds (I'm sure there are more out there) - as he's covered a few times per-week in relation to various Hyperloop projects - these flood any search results (interviewing on India, Dubai, US, whatever). He does have 300k twitter followers and pre-hyperloop coverage (mainly in Italian - he was a DJ/producer, then a VJ lineup of MTV Italy's launch in the late 90s, and then did digital media and other stuff + startup incubation + softwaredev ). My comprehension of Italian, however, is not great. There is some more i-depth coverage in GQ-Italy - Icewhiz (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep – Certainly notable enough because of the Hyperloop projects alone, and there is ample coverage of his prior activities. Much more notable than many one-hit wonders… Obviously, the article needs work to become a passable biography; expand, don't delete. — JFG talk 05:20, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
