Subject does not meet notability guidelines for WP:BIO. Article only has one citation/resource that describes a new business the subject recently opened. If opening a new business categorizes one as notable, Wikipedia would be a rather busy place Sal Calypso (talk) 19:03, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. I don't find anything that suggests the subject meets notability requirements.  Edgeweyes (talk) 13:11, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately delete for now - A News search found a few results with a browser search also finding results (mostly local) but nothing that appears significant, notable and in-depth. Highbeam and thefreelibrary also found nothing. SwisterTwister   talk  01:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Good work SwisterTwister. A lot of editors wouldn't even go as far as to do a search, but rather they would read the scant sources provided and make their decision based on that alone. You found what I found, not much. I must warn future editors planning to do the same. Because Corso's business is funded by Las Vegas' Downtown Project (DTP), we must also be wary of search results that reveal articles written by media companies owned by or partnered with the DTP. DTP has their own media arm now, as they recently partnered with Wendoh Media, who now owns 50% of DTP's music festival, and also owns DTLV Magazine, Vegas Seven Magazine, Spy on Vegas, and a multitude of other media outlets in Las Vegas that have a direct interest in promoting Corso. Wendoh Media also manages the DTP owned music venue on the same property as Corso's business (The Bunkhouse). Even with the few sources that may be found outside of these "Wendoh owned" magazines, the subject does not pass the notability criteria. And any source with the Wendoh stamp would be a clear violation of WP:IS, as they have a vested interest in the success of Corso and his business. As much as I would love to create or edit another article on a Las Vegas resident, I cannot ignore the subject's failure to meet the proper criteria. Sal Calypso (talk) 04:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
