Obviously promotional. There is no significant coverage in reliable sources indicating notability. Perrythwi (talk) 23:36, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Are ya sure about that? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  23:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That was rude but yes I am sure. Those are all from the Baltimore area. I was told a person needs coverage beyond their local area to be considered notable. Ofcourse, the local press will celebrate when he gives $1 million dollars to a local school.Perrythwi (talk) 00:38, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Outside of Baltimore, where Millennial Media is based, there is basically no detailed coverage. The company maybe notable, but the CEO is not.Perrythwi (talk) 00:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The Baltimore Sun article is clearly very substantial coverage about this executive. Other sources also discuss him in some detail. Is he best covered in a stand alone article or in the article about the company he co-founded and led? Deletion would not be the appropriate outcome. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:32, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Thanks to for doing the search that WP:BEFORE mandates and finding an array of sources about Palmieri that supports the claim of notability. Any issues regarding cleanup should be addressed through a mix of editing and discussion at the article's talk page; deletion is not cleanup. Alansohn (talk) 16:00, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: Does not meet WP:ANYBIO and significant RS coverage not found. The sources listed above, such as &  are routine news, passing mentions and / or not independent of the subject's company. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:51, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to One by AOL, the new name for Millenial Media. My rule of thumb with company founders is that unless the person is the founder of a single very well known company, I prefer to see that they founded and led a minimum of two companies that are considered notable enough to be on Wikipedia. In this case, since he's known for a single moderately notable company, his biographical info is better served being in that company's history section, with a redirect. Should he get significant coverage down the road in his new role, the history is preserved and this action can always be revisited. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  19:28, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
