Procedural nom, declined WP:G4. Was deleted by a previous AfD in 08, thought it's been long enough to deserve another look at from the community. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 23:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Neutral. I was originally going to say "delete". Sources cited in the article are not sufficient to make him notable: one instance where he served on a discussion panel for techcrunch.com, one bio page from a company he works for, and one link to his blog about puppies. (I'm not kidding, those are the only "sources" in the article!) However, a Google searched turned up an item specifically about him in Business Week. That's beginning to sound more like it. --MelanieN (talk) 01:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN
 * Keep Cohler has received significant coverage from reliable sources such as The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and TIME Magazine. He definitely meets WP:GNG in that he has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 19:33, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak Keep - but the sources in the article need to be replaced with the independent ones. Racepacket (talk) 11:17, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I put the TIME and LA Times references in last week. Is it the TechCrunch references that you object to? There seems to be plenty of independent sources available on Cohler via Google news and I can swap the TechCrunch ones out if they're considered unreliable. --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 16:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
