Subject isn't notable. The only references in the article are primary sources and neither one is reliable. Iggy pop goes the weasel (talk) 06:26, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of third party, reliable sources giving nontrivial coverage that demonstratess notability. DreamGuy (talk) 16:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The Street has interviewed him, Miami Herald has written about his founding his company, and there are about 580 articles either by or quoting him, and it looks like he's been interviewed on CBS 60 minutes and FoxNews, and he has been quoted and his articles referred to by Business Week and Newsweek. The references on the article page may not be good, but that shouldn't disqualify the article, it needs to be improved. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 19:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: but as a stub. The article is crap, but the subject is notable. Along with those 580 news ghits, there are also 41 Google Scholar hits and 47 Google book hits. He's been quoted in a lot of major magazines and cited by a number of books as a leader in his field... but you couldn't tell that from the article as it is now.
