This AfD was never transcluded to a logpage, and has technically been open this whole time. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, jp×g 03:35, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: From a cursory look at the article, a small number of these references might be cromulent, but it seems that the article has suffered an intense WP:REFBOMBING campaign (many of them are links to his personal website, primary sources, or whatever ""Seer Technologies Files For Initial Public Offering. - Free Online Library". Thefreelibrary.com. 1995-05-09. Retrieved 2012-11-02." is). jp×g 01:29, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
