Fails WP:BIO. I cannot find any means by which this person is notable. Not WP:ARTIST and not WP:PROF. Page appears mostly as a soapbox to me and I can't see how to fix it since the person simply doesn't seem notable. jps (talk) 00:25, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. The references and links in the article show he was the focus of a feature article in The Atlantic, was featured in a segment on CBS news, and does appear to be "originating a significant new concept, theory or technique" per WP:ARTIST. Gccwang (talk) 03:45, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * If we had more sources like The Atlantic interview, I certainly would not be here. However, I can't help but think that this doesn't quite rise to the level of coverage we would want for a WP:BLP. jps (talk) 14:48, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep There are multiple independent reliable sources in this article including The Atlantic, Forbes, Wired, CBS, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and here is one from the Washington Post . This guy is definitely notable WP:GNG. I am One of Many (talk) 18:16, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
