Non-notable individual whom the article claims to have been involved in several somewhat notable events provides. However, article sources do not establish this involvement. Unable to find any third-party sources myself. -- Non-Dropframe   talk   21:28, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Removed SOCK comment Keep: covered, but not directly mentioned in many articles. Is specifically mentioned in the Lancaster Times several times. I think the original wiki author got a date wrong here. Should be 2013, not 2011? '''HoyaThomas01 (talk) 21:45, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - References either do not mention individual or are duplicates of the same trivial coverage.  red dogsix (talk) 22:53, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete – A good number of the references don't even mention him, and he is not notable. SpeedDemon520 (talk) 22:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete References are mostly passing mentions or none at all. Fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:59, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: But fix the article. The focus of this article should not by his political work, but Tally. They're building voting machines and election technology that's really well respected in NGO circles (of which I am a part). They're actually making elections work in parts of the world that haven't had any elections in decades, like Somalia.--34esmond (talk) 14:17, 31 May 2015 (UTC) — 34esmond (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Comment - How does the purported notability of the company support the notability of the individual? Notability is not inherited.  Given there are no references that support the individual's notability, it is unlikely the article will survive regardless of how it is written.   red dogsix (talk) 14:30, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Your point is taken. I suspect this article may be premature, until more media attention is given to his work as the founder of the company. --34esmond (talk) 15:00, 31 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete for now as too soon, my searches (News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary) found no good coverage and even the current references don't all mention him or in passing. SwisterTwister   talk  19:41, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The article makes unsupported claims and claims media attention when he was exposed as the one listed employee of a larger organization.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:09, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete plain not notable. And a fraud, not least for bluelinking the company he claims to have established TallyVoting when he must have known that the link would go to Voting machine.  E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:38, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, one of his socks established that redirect. --  Non-Dropframe   talk   04:08, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
