Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Foodman


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to FastSpring. While there are many sources, none of them constitute significant coverage, so there is consensus that he should not have an individual article. There is no consensus on whether the article should redirect to FastSpring or be deleted, so I will default to making the redirect and anyone can take it to RfD if desired.

 * Delete, fails WP:NBIO, no indication of notability. All cited sources either contain trivial mentions, or no mention at all of the subject. Searching reveals no significant coverage in WP:RS. SailingInABathTub (talk) 13:37, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * keep Passes GNG listed on reputed sites such as Entrepreneur, CNET, INC, Fortune and many others. It can be also procedurally close as nom is blocked for sockpuppetery. Namkongville (talk) 14:45, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * None of these sources offer significant coverage of Foodman, the Inc source is just FastSpring on a list of 5000 other companies, the Fortune article just contains quotes from him about FastSpring, the Entrepreneur article lists his name once in a list of founders of FastSpring, and the CNET source does not even mention his name. SailingInABathTub (talk)
 * I agree with you that some are mentions but if they are from reputed websites they still hold a value for GNG. I can see many other sources too which are listed down and can be counted for GNG too.

 * Unfortunately they do not contibute towards WP:GNG, as none of the sources offered contain significant coverage of Foodman. SailingInABathTub (talk) 15:42, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment, FastSpring is a possible redirect target, as most of the sources here are about this company. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:26, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

 * keep As per all above, Easily passes WP:GNG as has received coverage in multiple reliable websites. Frigidpolarbear (talk) 08:22, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment, my source analysis is below:
 * Comment There are many in-depth sources. For example this article in Fortune . Second: a piece in Entrepreneur and an article on The Daily Record . Those three alone are enough for WP:GNG. Frigidpolarbear (talk) 15:01, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The Techcrunch article you mention is source #9, Fortune #10, Entrepreneur #11, and Daily Record #8. None of them have significant coverage. SailingInABathTub (talk) 15:48, 24 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: the excellent and exhaustive analysis of source made by shows a lack of SIGCOV and a failure to meet WP:GNG. --Randykitty (talk) 13:39, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Above seems a good example for WP:HOAX. The nom is bad faith. Maybe you can reconsider your vote :) Frigidpolarbear (talk) 14:59, 24 April 2021 (UTC)


 * From the three sources purportedly meeting GNG, I checked the one in Entrepreneur, which is just an in-passing mention of Foodman and contributes nothing to notability. I didn't check the others (Fortune is behind a paywall and the Daily Record website seems to be down), but just the Entrepreneur example already shows that you have no good feeling for what meets GNG and what doesn't. In addition, I sampled some of the references and agree with the nterpretations of {above. --Randykitty (talk) 15:33, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are right upon checking deep Fortune articles fails for GNG. The entrepreneur article seems just a mention. Agree with your assessment. :) Frigidpolarbear (talk) 15:53, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
