This was deleted via AFD in 2007 as an autobiography. Another author (with a limited topic interest range recreated it in 2012. Claim to fame is chiefly his tenure as CIO of Open Society Institute. Most of the sources are primary or otherwise don't meet WP:RS. Of the sources that do meet WP:RS (San Diego Union Tribune, Times Higher Education, Wired), the first two are inaccessible, and the Wired article has a single mention of Peizer. Still no evidence of non-trivial coverage in reliable third-party sources. This is not the only instance of the subject attempting to use Wikipedia for self-promotion; see this long thread concerning his objections to his commercial green tea site being added to the spam blacklist.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment According to WP:GNG, sources don't have to be online to count. That said, the Union-Tribune source is a reprint of a Chicago Tribune story and only has a quote from Peizer. The Wired source is an interview with Peizer. The total coverage of Peizer in the Times Higher Education piece (which is a book review still sitting around in Google cache ) is "He gets tough with only one interviewee, Jonathan Peizer, who set up the Soros Foundation's internet programme in Eastern Europe. Peizer is one of the few people in the book who is doing something useful instead of criticising what everyone else is doing." So, primary sources and insignificant coverage, none of which counts toward notability. Bakazaka (talk) 17:55, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * delete news archive searches show that he gets quoted about stuff "says Jonathan Peizer, a computer expert for ..." but I can't find any SIGCOV that is ABOUT him. It appears to be PROMO, for a MILL tech/social media professional.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:04, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
