Just a brief mention in the sources. They do not profile him. ". . . trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." WP:Notability (people) BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 05:16, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The closest thing to biographical material in current sources is the Providence Business News article that says he used to work for his father and then founded the new company. — Brianhe (talk) 05:33, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Delete no significant coverage in reliable sources --86.2.216.5 (talk) 13:04, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - all sources are highly questionable, with a serious conflict of interest. Grace has absolutely no notability. AusLondonder (talk) 06:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:ADMASQ by confessed paid editor. See also Articles for deletion/InsureMyTrip.com. Pax 10:49, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep  With sourced references from the likes of the NYTimes and CNN Money I am really not sure why an editor writes above "all sources are highly questionable"? The article subject has significant coverage across multiple sources that include WP:RS such as CNN Money and the NYTimes as well as the Providence Business News and as such passes WP:GNG, and crosses the threshold of notability. WP:N, As for WP:ADMASQ mentioned by one editor, the editor that created the article has now declared his status as a paid editor, so that policy and point are really moot at this juncture. Let us not be prejudiced at the article because of who happened to create it. As I stated at one of the related AFDs, there is no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water!     Cheers!

 * Are you reading the same sources as I am? "...significant coverage ... such as CNN Money and the NYTimes" -WP:GNG ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail", those articles are in no way addressing the topic of Mr Grace directly and in detail, they are addressing completely different topics and providing minor quotes from him in his role regarding a business. They aren't interested in him personally. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 13:04, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG clearly lacks significant coverage.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 06:34, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
