John Fanning

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The only significant "reliable" mention is that this person helped his nephew set up napster. His other ventures arent that notable though, not enough to have a wiki page for each of them. I would recommend redirecting this to napster, Sean fanning or delete this page.

PS: The article was edited recently by someone who is likely John Fanning Himself, as per his user page. Daiyusha (talk) 05:39, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment This article was created 24 August 2019 by over-writing a long-standing disambiguation page. I have revert to the dab page. If someone wants to re-create John Fanning (businessman) (PROD Nov 2017 for lack of demonstrable notability), they should do so, but without destroying the encyclopedia's navigational structures.

 * And I note that according to Napster it was founded by Shawn Fanning (born 1980). Interesting contradiction there. Pam  D  09:33, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
