IsAnybodyDown?
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This new vote is a process to remove the previous article IsAnybodyDown? and/or merge/redirect its contents to the new, correct article Craig Brittain (entrepreneur) who has achieved notability via coverage from several notable sources: Business Insider, Adland, Forbes and Fusion. All of the old contents can be retained as this is simply a merge for notability which no longer meets the confines of a single wiki entry about a defunct website, but rather is rightfully extended to include a notable person. The subject has received sustained news coverage for several years after the closure of his initially notable website, including multiple notable events, thus meeting WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. The reliability/notability of the sources also meets the WP:NOTPROMOTION standard and thus is qualified to be a standalone article about a living person.

 * Keep. Subject retains the notability established in the previous AFD. Significant coverage by NPR's On The Media, Ars Technica, Coverage here is not just of the one founder, but of the business with multiple partners. Supposed other coverage of Brittain is Adland, which does not mention his name in the half-paragraph related to a tweet Dryvyng put out, Fusion, which discusses Brittain and Dryvyng in the context of IsAnybodyDown and its effect on any future plans; and Business Insider, which both opens and closes with discussion of IsAnybodyDown. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:38, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Since the first nomination deletion, there has been a settlement with the FTC to take down the website, the details of which are not usual for the FTC. Given the FTC settlement and the response that the website took, it meets notability requirements.DivaNtrainin (talk) 02:45, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep -- well referenced and pertinent. The information on the founder's later ventures can go though. I went ahead and removed it as off-topic content for the article: diff. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:15, 30 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per and  above. Shearonink (talk) 22:08, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - troll afd raised to promote keeping page on its cofounder. Blythwood (talk) 03:18, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - multiple citations and news stories. Craig Brittain (entrepreneur) is notable for his involvement with this site, not for anything else. Note that nominator appears to be a single-purpose account that has only edited around this subject. Shritwod (talk) 14:06, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
