Unclear notability. The - likely paid-for - article is based on passing mentions, listings, routine profiles in affiliated websites, and 1 promo "article" in a trade magazine (ref #8). The current sourcing is insufficient and a Google search did not reveal any promising additional in-depth sources. GermanJoe (talk) 01:54, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment (as nominator) - Forgot to mention 1 source detail in the analysis: the dead Forbes source (ref #3) is the usual Forbes contributor fluff (per Internet Archive), and is not an independent reliable source for any substantial encyclopedic information.

 * Keep but the article needs updating (as does the linked article to Tripsta). He's listed as the current CEO of a company that went out of business in June 2018. He's mentioned in multiple articles between 2008 and 2015 for building the largest e-commerce travel site in Greece (5th largest in Europe) and made the Fortune 40 under 40 list.  I would think there's probably a lot more coverage on him and the rapid rise/fall of Tripsta. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orville1974 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify a few points: his company has a separate article. And the notability of his company does not make him notable (and vice versa - see also WP:NOTINHERITED for more details about this principle). Also, mere mentions and listings do not establish notability for a biographical article - only substantial in-depth coverage about himself in non-promotional reliable publications does. Please provide specific examples of such in-depth coverage about his biography if possible. GermanJoe (talk) 19:52, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
