Notability is questionable. While he may have worked at Napster, notability is not inherited. Furthermore, the sources here are all unacceptable for establishing notability: Three are obituaries and the other is a Huffington Post Contributor blog, which is specifically noted as unreliable per consensus under WP:RSP. BEFORE didn't show much much more then the obituaries. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 02:25, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep The SFGate obituary definitely counts towards notability, written by staff writer, in-depth was the website of the SF Chronicle during that era. The Gainesville Sun seems good too, even if the paper is a bit smaller. Here's a very in-depth article from another major paper that verges on obituary Here's a passing reference that confirms him as a "Caltrain board member" . It would be nice to get a sigcov source that is not an obituary, but as it stands no reason to delete. &mdash;siro&chi;o 09:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Obituaries by themselves have never been acceptable for establishing notability, regardless of who wrote them. - Who is John Galt? ✉ 13:12, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no general guideline against using obituaries to establish notability. You may be thinking of death notices (trivial coverage), eulogies (primary sources), etc. Here's some helpful discussions (1 2 3). For this article's subject, there are intellectually independent obituaries that establish details about this individual beyond primary source reactions, providing SIGCOV. &mdash;siro&chi;o 20:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
