 * That Austin Chronicle article you cite is extremely persuasive. Persuaded me that it would be a cinch to find more RS.  It was.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Interesting, what little is written about him, but not notable. VanEman (talk) 05:01, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Not so fast when a career begins before most newspapers were online, you have to search beyond google/google news.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:14, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep He's notable. Added a couple of articles form major dailies to the article. Also see Wired; A Romance, a 2003 book by Gary Wolf, published by Random House.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete E.M.Gregory I'm rather surprised that you find those references substantial. He is named on two pages of the Gary Wolf book, and not much is said about him. The NYTimes article has a one-line quote from him. In addition, one of the references is to his book on his publisher's page, which doesn't work toward notability. I did find this: "Will Kreth: a Wired hand moves over to Prodigy" by Morrison, Jim. Marketing Computers, 09/1995, Volume 15, Issue 8.(EBSCOHost) -- However, the article is only a couple of lines long.  Other than that, I found a few articles by him. That's all.

 * Delete - Beyond not finding anything in-depth from reliable independent sources using the search engines, I agree with LaMona's assessment of the sources found by E.M.Gregory. In addition, I used the wonderful Newspapers.com license I got through WP, and came up with zero references in any newspapers to Kreth.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:52, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't see how being on the ground floor of Wired, so to speak, means anything notable. Bearian (talk) 19:07, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
