 * Comment - TechCrunch did find it noteworthy that she had switched from Myspace to Tagged. Don't know if that is enough, though. --Kristjan Wager (talk) 20:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment - I find the talk page comment "All content has been reviewed and approved by Ms. Whitcraft" disturbing. But it does explain why the article reads like a press release. -- Whpq (talk) 15:17, 16 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - I've reviewed all the references at this point, and none of them are what are needed to establish notability; they are variously either not independent, not a reliable source, or not substantial coverage about the subject. My own searches find some routine business news covering the movement of executives between companies but no in depth coverage about Whitcraft. - Whpq (talk) 15:24, 16 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Do not Delete - Whpq, please contact me to discuss this. The comments you've made are unclear. How are articles from TechCrunch and Business Week that specifically identify Ms. Whitcraft as "not a reliable source"? In addition, can you explain why you find the talk page comment "disturbing"?  Your comment hy the article reads like a press release is merely an opinion. The format for this article follows similar formats for other internet entrepreneurs such as | Mike Jones and | Jason Hirschhorn. In fact, Ms. Whitcraft's article is just as credible and noteworthy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leokim3 (talk • contribs) 23:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Reply - The TEchcrunch article is not significant coverage, Businessweek simply is an entry in a directory of company profiles. The talk page comment is disturbing because it stated that the information has been approved by Tish Whitcraft (youve' removed that assertion in this edit).  It is exactly for this reason that editors like you with a conflict of interest must be very careful about how such articles are editted. -- Whpq (talk) 11:06, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet WP:N as outlined by Whpq above. Jeepday (talk) 22:56, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
