Challenged PROD. Probably inadequate notability. Parse is not so famous that a confounder of the firm can be assumed to be notable. I'm not sure the Telechrunch interview is sufficient, and the rest is either about the company or insubstantial.  DGG ( talk ) 05:15, 17 December 2015 (UTC)


 * The article may benefit from better citation and more content. Parse is a high profile acquisition for Facebook and he has appeared on stage with Mark Zuckerberg multiple times. I will add some content from his website when I have time. http://ilya.sukhar.com/talks.html & http://ilya.sukhar.com/press.html Mschmidt47 (talk) 07:04, 17 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete if needed but certainly redirect to the Parse company article for now as there's nothing explicit to suggest considerable independent notability. Notifying PRODer . SwisterTwister   talk  07:11, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete not independently notable. Lacking in WP:INDEPTH coverage in reliable secondary sources - even the Forbes reference is just a little blurb. Citobun (talk) 07:54, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * What about this? https://www.theinformation.com/Behind-Facebook-s-Mobile-Platform-a-Driven / http://ilya.sukhar.com/theinformation.html (no paywall) Mschmidt47 (talk) 08:32, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * That is not solid in-depth third-party sources such as news, journals and magazines. SwisterTwister   talk  08:33, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll read up on Wikipedia's guidelines but The Information is a respected outlet in Silicon Valley run by former WSJ veterans. The writer in question is now a reporter at Bloomberg.Mschmidt47 (talk) 08:41, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Another profile in Wired http://www.wired.com/2013/09/facebook-and-parse/ Mschmidt47 (talk) 17:42, 17 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep he is notable in silicon valley and among all mobile developers. These are two very large communities. I cleaned up the article somewhat and added sources that should meet the depth and reliability requirements (Wired, FastCompany). Take another look those of you who voted Delete above. Mschmidt47 (talk) 18:05, 17 December 2015 (UTC)


 * The Fast Company ref is just a passing mention. The Wired article is good and certainly constitutes significant, relatively in-depth coverage, but I am still not convinced the subject really meets the notability criteria of significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources. Maybe in time will receive additional in-depth coverage. Until then I still recommend deleting or redirecting to Parse. Citobun (talk) 06:29, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I'm new to this though. How many articles or interviews is the threshold? Or is it subjective? Mschmidt47 (talk) 18:14, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
