 * Keep - The Following seems to be sufficient to me:
 * NY Times - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/technology/personaltech/15basics.html
 * CNN Money-http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2010/07/07/n_broken_iphone_fixer.cnnmoney/
 * Ianacion (Argentina Newspaper)-http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1254991
 * Manilla Bulletin-http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/254957/how-fix-your-iphone-unofficial-edition
 * Delete. Above links #1, #3, and #4 are all from the same NYT writer. Brief public interest story does not demonstrate "enduring notability". Lots of information in the article cannot be verified with the references and links supplied (e.g. date of birth, middle name), so I suspect possible WP:COI.

 * Comment The point of links #1,#3,#4  is to demonstrate the worldwide interest of this topic by showing that it has been published by reliable and significant sources worldwide. Mr McElroy is of interest to the tech community, and a wave of similar operations seemed to come out of the woodwork after the Times piece. His middle name and date of birth can be viewed on his facebook page, and both the NYT and CNN verify his age. There are many other publications that mention Mr McElroy and Dr Brendan. Would it seem that a Dr Brendan page would be more appropriate?

 * Delete or reconfigure: at most the refs establish notability for the business, not the person. Hairhorn (talk) 12:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
