Support for non-deletion
Notability: Ken Segall is well known in the advertising field, has served as worldwide creative director for iconic global companies (Apple, Dell, IBM, NeXT, IBM), is responsible for key moments in Apple marketing history ("Think different" and the "i" strategy behind Apple product naming, and is a New York Times bestselling author. Google Ken Segall and you will find hundreds of interviews (internet and TV) and his books are reviewed. His early mentor in advertising Steve Hayden has a Wikipedia page with fewer accomplishments.

Passing reference: I removed the single reference to a living person, Patty Pravo, as Segall's musical partnership with her is 40 years in the past and I can find no corroborating articles.

New citations: I have added multiple citations, including Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, which confirm Segall's important contributions to the rebirth of Apple.

Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what was found to be lacking in the article, so I hope I have revised sufficiently. If not, I would greatly appreciate any and all opinions!Mrylander (talk) 17:31, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
