Robert B. Tucker

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article for an apparently non-notable business personality. Of the refs in the article, all are dead except for (interview),  (another interview in the same publication),  (interview apparently from CNBC hosted on his YouTube channel).

I think the best bet for notability is WP:NAUTHOR, but I've had a really hard time finding reviews. There is one decent-sized review of Winning the Innovation Game (ISBN 9780425115312), which he co-authored in 1987, in the LA Times for March 5, 1987, but that's about it. I found this surprising, since Driving Growth Through Innovation (ISBN 9781576751879) has 300 cites on Scholar. All the other hits I could find were unreliable profiles from the speaking agencies he's affiliated with. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 01:18, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. I looked up the 'Tucker Innovation Model,' and it seems to be used as a strategy framework. I think exploring something on that front might yield something of interest. I will look further. Ktin (talk) 18:54, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I did some search on 'Tucker Innovation Model'. This seems like a proprietary strategy framework. i.e. most of the sources lead back to the subject's firm / practice. I did find one paper that references the framework . However, I do not think this might be sufficient for our purpose though. Ktin (talk) 04:10, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , Yeah, definitely confirms that it exists, but I agree it doesn't seem like enough for GNG/NAUTHOR. It's weird! I was expecting to see a lot more coverage than there seems to be. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:19, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
