no evidence for notability as an individual  DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Keep notable as a business person given the sustained coverage over the years.--JumpLike23 (talk) 04:55, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * his only notability is in founding one relatively minor company; everythign else is just fluff. That does not justify a separate article  DGG ( talk ) 04:16, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The standard we are considering is the GNG, and the test is whether "a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, then it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article." Here, Berkovitz received extensive coverage when he founded DoMyStuff.com (The San Diego Union-Tribune, St. Paul Pioneer Press, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire (magazine), Entrepreneur (magazine)). Moreover, he has received coverage for Telesign and Strong Webmail (Los Angeles Times, CIO magazine, PC World). He's mentioned by The Mercury News as representative of Silicon Valley. --JumpLike23 (talk) 05:11, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete The article creator seems to have confused WP:GOOGLEHITS with actual sources. So where are these reliable sources with extensive coverage? Because they're not in the article. More actual evidence and less handwaving, please. --Calton | Talk 13:43, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
