Autobiography of low-notability young businessman. No significant coverage per WP:BIO from multiple secondary WP:RS, just some puff pieces in the local press, plus two inclusions on vanity award lists of businesspeople compiled by low-notability business blogs. Sole claim to fame seems to be a regional win in an entrepreneur award run by a bank, and his company getting a few mentions in local press. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 11:13, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - Citations include the Telegraph (national newspapers). The Richtopia list has been refereed to by Richard Branson and is published in the national paper, the Daily Mirror - so is notable http://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/age-is-not-a-barrier-to-success. Additionally, it has been used to cite other people of notability on Wikipedia, with significantly fewer sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganhuyag_Chuluun_Hutagt. Refs also include reputable and notable University publications. 1pwalker3 (talk) 11:17, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Similar notability of other local businessmen included in WP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1pwalker3 (talk • contribs)
 * Please note that WP:OTHERSTUFF on Wikipedia may also fail notability guidelines. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 11:29, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * However, this is notable & from a NPOV, in the circumstances, based on the relevant NPOV and notability guidelines. There are significant national sources and your judgement on the notability of the "list" to which you refer is unfounded - with no significant evidence to the contrary supplied. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1pwalker3 (talk • contribs) 11:32, 18 January 2016 (UTC) 1pwalker3 (talk) 16:08, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - Sources are strong enough to demonstrate notability, which in some cases are better than other articles approved on Wikipedia. Various users have been involved in improving/editing the article also, which shows interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpercival (talk • contribs) 12:28, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete From a cursory look at the sources, there seems to be a lot refering to him in the context of his companies, but not a lot focused on him. I'll keep looking, but this is a borderline notable/not notable case as far as I can see. Mdann52 (talk) 16:23, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * His notability appears to be directly related to his companies success / his position in, and founding the company. So these references are appropriate in this context. 1pwalker3 (talk) 16:34, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Additional sources are of clear notability to his success in business & entrepreneurial context. Meets notability criteria in my view. Spike1965 (talk) 17:35, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete the only significant, reliable sources only provide a mere passing mention, I do not believe it is satisfactory depth of coverage. Borderline case but I lean toward not-notable. Matthew Thompson talk to me! 10:27, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
