Irvan Smith (Mr. Vero)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional biography of a non-notable businessman/programmer. Prose barely makes sense and references are either trivial mentions or advertorials. Declined PROD. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 14:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Saying that the Prose barely makes sense is an overstatement.  It's clear this was written by somebody who is not a native English speaker, but that's not a reason to delete.  The diction and grammar can be cleaned up.  The real problem is that he really does appear to be non-notable. My own searching failed to come up with anything.  I searched for him by name, and also searched for the two companies he's associated with.   All the sources listed in the article are in Indonesian, so I had to rely on the auto-translations.  That's an admittedly poor way to evaluate something, but from what I can see, there's nothing in the sources provided which helps meet WP:GNG.  If somebody could point out some better sources, and provide good English translations, that would be helpful.  -- RoySmith (talk) 20:23, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete no true notability; refs are industry type and not in depth.104.163.148.25 (talk) 06:01, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find anything to satisfy notability requirements. Appearing on a judging panel with Larry Page is not enough nor is being CEO of a startup that is not itself notable. I'm afraid this is a puff piece created and defended by a single-purpose account. WP:BIO, WP:1E and WP:COMPANY refer. See also WP:SPA Mcewan (talk) 22:03, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I have to say also that it's, let's say, surprising that the article has been around for 5 months or so. Mcewan (talk) 22:09, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the backlog of unreviewed new pages goes all the way back to August of last year. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 22:19, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Mmmm. Fair enough - and as an only intermittently active wikipedian, I bear my share of responsibility for that :) Mcewan (talk) 22:23, 7 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - I agree with the nominator and others that this individual does not meet WP:GNG. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:11, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Puff piece about a businessman lacking coverage in reliable sources. The claims to notability are weak, and in any case weren't widely discussed by sources. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:42, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
