Non-notable person. Although he may have been a CEO in the past, this in itself does not make someone notable. Oli Filth 21:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Delete. Merely throwing down "related" links and calling them references doesn't make the subject meet WP:NOTE. Bullzeye Complaint Dept./Contribs) 23:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral Looked through google news and most of the articles just quote him from his official position.  Then again, there are lots of these entries there.   Just not sure Corpx 02:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Pro CEO in the past and a current Partner of a sports/media firm that holds over 500MM in equity. He is a partial owner of two major league franchises, two major league stadiums and multiple media outputs. Definitley wikipedia worthy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.193.220.204 (talk • contribs).
 * Keep after checking some of the GNews results, it looks like he is being quoted because his positions make him notable. DGG (talk) 21:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Absolutely if you look through sltrib.com and desnews.com (both are mainstay SLC newspapers)it seems that he is not only a large part of the sporting community but a large part of the community period. User:MEEETOO (talk) 16:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per DGG and Corpx. --Aarktica 20:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems important enough to have on wikipedia. He is in the public eye a lot according to Google News and he is a partial owner of two fairly well known sporting teams. --Hawk-eye 16:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. In addition to the references on Salt Lake City-area news websites, internet searches show his profile is high enough to begin to warrant mentions in national magazines like Sports Illustrated (here) and Inc. (here) Kayaker 22:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC).
