Fails WP:ANYBIO, although there are a few articles covering Pronovost many are either passing mentions or are very short. Some coverage is just a quick description of the company (which has now folded) he found and who Pronovost is. Article is clearly authored by someone close to Pronovost because it contains information about his childhood that isn't included in any of the sources. During my search as per WP:BEFORE there are a handful of articles about him but they're either from his employer, or trivial mentions.

Keep The source assessment table should not lead to "delete". One reliable in-depth source, several low(but not trivial) coverage reliable sources are enough for a small article. Lurking shadow (talk) 11:33, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Comment So part of my reasoning here with the AfD is that the subject appears to only be notable for one thing which was the company. Do we think this falls under WP:BIO1E?  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 01:49, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The McClatchy newspapers and the PC Mag sources are probably the best, rest are minimal, but I think it's just barely at GNG with all the sources together. Oaktree b (talk) 12:03, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
