Rand Schulman

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This isn't the subject of significant coverage by multiple independent third party sources. Sometimes he's mentioned in coverage, but in-depth coverage by multiple sources indicating some modicum of encyclopedic notability is lacking (it looks like WP:LOTSOFSOURCES). I tried looking into this subject elsewhere but haven't been able to find much at all. Lots of press releases indicating things that don't seem to pass either WP:GNG or even WP:CREATIVE, which seems to be the basis of the article as it stands. JFHJr (㊟) 01:43, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Object to proposed deletion. Wiki asked for more notability references and those were recently provided: 1) being named as the first Executive in Residence at the University of the Pacific, in the school's 160-year history. This is referenced by an article from the university itself. 2) being elected to the board of trustees of the Direct Marketing Educational Foundation, part of the Direct Marketing Association, the large marketing association in the nation

In addition, Rand: 3) is one of the first practitioners of SaaS-based web analytics, having founded Keylime Software, as referenced in the third-party article 4) is one of the founding members of the Web Analytics Association, the most influential web analytics organization in the country, as referenced by the history section of the group's web site 5) was named one of the top 100 B2B marketers by BtoB Magazine, as referenced by the magazine itself

All the references above come from independent, third-party articles. I believe these accomplishments, including his founding role in creation of the web analytics industry, along with his executive leadership at emerging technology companies, warrant keeping this profile. Please tell us if there are any other specific changes need. Thank you. Erikbratt (talk) 05:05, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: Even with the sources added by Erikbratt above, still falls far short of the requirements of WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 06:51, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
