Spam article created by a CU confirmed UPE sock. I had tagged as G5, but when going back through, noticed it had some substantial content added by a good faith user. Still spam and a TOU violation, so it should be deleted. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:59, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. The first reference is decent, but none of the rest provide any sort of significant coverage. They're brief mentions, quotations, interviews, primary-sources, etc. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:11, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * What about the Wired article? FloridaArmy (talk) 19:23, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There are two Wired articles referenced. One is behind a paywall and appears to be an interview (which would be a primary source and doesn't count toward notability), and the other gives just a brief mention to the subject. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:46, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- a BLP that lack coverage in reliable sources. CEO of a nn company is almost always a GNG fail, and there's nothing else better. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:40, 6 December 2017 (UTC) K.e.coffman (talk) 02:40, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, not significant independent coverage for stand alone article. Fails WP:GNG. Kierzek (talk) 14:53, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:46, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - The reference cited here. Additionally, I don't think the nom has cited how the article doesn't meet notability even if borderline. Granted there may be a sock behind it but the subject in its scrutiny meets GNG as per my interpretation of WP:GNG TalkMe (talk) 08:06, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The WP:N is the guideline under which WP:GNG is but one part. Passing the GNG is not in itself sufficient to be considered notable under that guideline. A subject must pass the GNG or an SNG and the article must pass WP:NOT to have a presumption of inclusion per WP:N. The GNG cannot overrule the guideline in which it is contained. This article fails WP:NOTSPAM as a promotional commissioned work by a CU confirmed UPE farm. The question of notability is not important. Also, as your userpage says you edit for pay at all times, I think it is fair to question whether or not you can be objective in this case, and whether or not you were paid for this vote.
