Blake Mallen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable executive. Appears to have no notability independent of the company ViSalus. A redirect to ViSalus has been objected too. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:44, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Subject isn't just an executive at Visalus. Subject is also founder of Visalus--a notable company--hence his notability. Carlang (talk) 08:39, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited by the executives of a notable company. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:35, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I understand that. The rule certainly applies to executives working at the company. But isn't notability inferred when a person creates a notable company? i.e Zuckerberg is a founder of Faceboook--a notable company--and that makes him notable (alongside the other four facebook founders). Blake Mallen founded Visalus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlang (talk • contribs) 12:43, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete This article appears to have been created as part of a campaign to advertise the company and people related to it. There's no evidence of genuine notability (the Bloomberg entry appears to be a directory-type listing, probably submitted by the company). Nick-D (talk) 03:05, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't appear to be notable outside of founding ViSalus. Any relevant information should be included under the ViSalus article. Kaldari (talk) 08:10, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleteno wikipedic notability, and appears to be part of an advertising campaign for Visalus. Notability of the company does not transfer to its founder.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:00, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable BLP subject. Mallen can be covered in a sentence or two in the Visalus article. No redirect should be added either. Rhode Island Red (talk) 21:47, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable BLP subject. -- Cheers, Riley   Huntley  00:57, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
