Sources used as references are either rewrites of press releases, profile listings, or tangential to the subject. I am of the opinion that this article does not pass WP:GNG. This article was also WP:BLAR-ed for a similar reasoning but subsequently reverted. – robertsky (talk) 16:40, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Redirect to Jam City (company). WP:NOTLINKEDIN and this is just a professional profile, with no indication of notability present in the article, regional businessperson award notwithstanding. &mdash;siro&chi;o 23:01, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe that Josh Yguado is the main subject of several articles (good independent sources) I've just added to the page. While I'm not sure that this article will expand beyond a stub format, I do see the subject's noteworthiness. The awards are usually notwithstanding, so not terrible not great that some award is there and it may be removed from the page. --VertyBerty (talk) 08:45, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Good attempt, but in my opinion, the sources that you have added here are not of WP:SIGCOV of the subject. Other than Bloomberg, which I don't have access to and therefore unable to make a proper evaluation (however, from the opening paragraph, I do not think there will be sigcov about the subject. do let me know if I am wrong), the rest are about JamCity or post-myspace business activities in general. Nothing specific about the subject. – robertsky (talk) 11:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep cause he is a significant figure in the tech industry, co-founder and CEO of Jam City, and an investor in the professional esports company Cloud9. --Rodgers V (talk) 12:52, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rodgers V are any sources (independent, reliable sources that are of significant coverage of the person) that can be used in the article? – robertsky (talk) 15:50, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: Relisting, noting that this is a stub article which I believe sets the bar for SIGCOV lower than if it was on its way to being featured article. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:45, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Jam City (company) - Doesn't pass WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. The news story about him being named CEO seems to be the only significant thing written about him. The sources added by User:VertyBerty are not significant coverage in my opinion. --Mika1h (talk) 11:41, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Mild keep te subject's role as co-founder and CEO of Jam City, as well as an investor in Cloud9, establishes his significance in the tech and gaming industries. The depth of coverage in existing sources has been questioned; however, the criteria for notability require significant coverage, which reflects his impact, not exhaustive coverage. The potential for the article to be expanded with additional information over time, as the industries evolve, makes me think that this is the reason why there is no consensus for the page's removal.

 * Weak Keep leaning towards keep due to the businessman's founding experience with Jam City and Cloud9, coupled with the minimal yet non-trivial media coverage. --BoraVoro (talk) 17:11, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Jam City. Marginally notable at best. Possible COI issues.

 * Redirect to Jam City. I don't think the sources demonstrate significant coverage here; aside from the source directly about his connection to Jam City, most of the citations are not about him directly (the Forbes article, for example, is about ex-MySpace executive DeWolfe, and Yguado is mentioned in a sentence of context for a quote he offered.)
