Previously deleted in 2005 at Articles for deletion/Steve Glicker but recreated in 2007 and not really noted since then. Declined an A7 on it today because of claims of significance however, I cannot verify any of those and especially cannot find any reliable sources talking about him or his allegedly "award-winning, multimillion-dollar company".

He has been cited as the source for a couple of articles back in 2006   but that's been it. There is an article in the NYT from back in 1987 that might be about him but I cannot access it and even if, a single source would not be enough to support an article.

 * Delete as non-notable. Being cited a few times (for the exact same thing) and hosting one podcast are not signs of notability. Whether or not the NYTimes source actually refers to him is also irrelevant, as even there he is only a side-mentioned player of Photon. None of the available sources therefore constitute significant coverage, and none match the claims made in our article. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 12:38, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I didn't know any articles were even deleted back in 2005. Considering notability was not even started until 2006, if an article was deleted back in 2005, it almost certainly should be deleted now, there are some potential exceptions where things in the last 15 years made the person more notable, and article on Gerrit W. Gong might have failed back in 2005 (he was a university vice president with some academic record, but I doubt it could have been enough to pass academic notability), but this is not one of those cases.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:35, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete The article does not meet notability criteria. Innovamus (talk) 03:17, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the nominator that the article presented a credible claim of significance, but there is an absolute dearth of persistent, independent and thorough coverage to meet our basic requirements. ——  Serial # 12:42, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
