Available in-depth sources all seem to be about the organization which he co-founded and acts as the spokesman for rather than about him. I can't find significant in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability per WP:BIO. Drawn Some (talk) 14:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge into LiveWorkPlay after removing all unsourced material. I agree completely with your points.  Is a deletion discussion even necessary here?  I would say to be bold: deleting unsourced assertions is always an acceptable bold thing to do.  There would likely be little material left for a merge, warranting only a sentence or paragraph on the main page.  And if there is controversy, I think it could be handled by a merge discussion.  It would be hard for people to argue against a merge unless they came up with sources covering this person in depth, which I couldn't find.  Cazort (talk) 17:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * One more comment, I think nothing would be lost by keeping a redirect in place--not only will it be useful if people type the name into the search box, but it may discourage re-creation of the page, esp. if people can see the history of the merge. That's why I'd prefer merge/redirect to deletion, even if all the material ends up being deleted.  Cazort (talk) 17:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Problem is the page gets no traffic so there is no way to build consensus. It might even get re-created.  A merge and redirect outcome is fine with me. Drawn Some (talk) 18:13, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge not independently notable as an individual based on the current page content. I see no problem with a redirect.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
