Peter Leparulo

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The subject of this biography may be the CEO of a notable corporation, and may have a Forbes profile, but that does not assert his notability. mynameinc 22:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and expand Here's a San Diego Tribune "people to watch" article on Leparulo . Here's business wire story: . Those are just the first couple sources I came up with. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:36, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * ChildofMidnight, those articles are both from two years ago and relate to company more than him. mynameinc 00:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * People to watch: Peter Leparulo isn't about him? Isn't the article an interview of him? And I'm not sure what you mean by pointing out that the articles are two years old. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but the guy seems to be quite notable, at least for a stub, if not more. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:47, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 4-5 questions in the interview were about Novatel, not Peter. By pointing out that these articles are two years old, I am saying that his "15 minutes of notability" is over. Other than becoming the CEO of Novatel Wireless, Mr. Leparulo has done nothing notable, anyway. mynameinc 02:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Very, very weak keep... since he's probably lasting longer than 15 minutes, but then, I couldn't find anything on the man that's significant or in-depth. In CoM's defense, esp. the first article is, IMO, strong enough; but if it weren't for that one, I'd vote for delete. Drmies (talk) 04:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't see any potential of a Peter Leparulo article ever being better than a stub. From the information that has been gathered so far, the article will be almost like a dictionary entry, because there is no material to right a biography from, and in the first source, the only thing about him personally was the last question. The article is going to be something like "Peter Leparulo (year of birth) is the CEO and Chairman of Novatel, and practiced corporate law for many years before joining Novatel as a high ranking executive in 2000." with a a little bit more content. A History of Novatel could be included, but I don't see it as appropriate considering he didn't found the company. mynameinc 14:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I expanded the article. There are ample sources. He's CEO of a major corporation and is credited with turning it around. He returned to being CEO in 2008. Just because an article is short doesn't mean it should be deleted. Instead of AfDing you're free to expand. Happy Holidays. There is a whole Forbes profile of the guy talking about his history at the company and his pay package. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:54, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdraw AfD. The article is much better and has infinetly more potential now that CoM expanded it. mynameinc 20:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
