Fails WP:GNG. Sources are trivial mentions. Speedy contested by IP.  Ish dar  ian  18:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not even a close call.  Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG.  Sources offered are all WP:PRIMARY or mere trivial coverage.  Googling turned up absolutely nothing useful.  Additionally, I note that the article appears to be the work of one or more WP:SPAs.  Msnicki (talk) 20:01, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Notable: person is a publisher of a major news organization.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.20.139 (talk) 02:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC) — 96.250.20.139 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep. Plenty of WP:RS about person, confirming WP:N  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.239.59.234 (talk) 20:52, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Passes WP:N test because person is publisher of large media company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.95.66 (talk) 23:17, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete All sources are trivial or self-published. Possible meat puppetry above. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 03:56, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * My bet is plain sock puppetry. All the IP addresses map to Brooklyn, NY or New York, NY.  Two are assigned to Verizon, one is at NYU.  Notice also the same repeated mistake, forgetting to sign, the similar reference to the subject as "person", and the similar arguments about the subject running a "major news organization" or "large media company".  (He's apparently just a salesman.)  I think they're all the same person, probably the subject himself.  Msnicki (talk) 08:14, 5 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Same reasoning as Msnicki. Transcendence (talk) 21:04, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
