Really a non-notable person--he's listed maybe as an influential tweeter or whatever, but his claim to fame, The Next Web, doesn't make him notable even if it his notable itself. BTW, the subject is related to another BLP that needs another set of eyes, Khalid Muhmood. Drmies (talk) 02:28, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - yes, the article seems like a waste of bytes, but it is in fact sourced to several newspaper websites. JoshuSasori (talk) 03:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but...and? I can't read the FT article, but what I can see is that it was written by his brother, the aforementioned Khalid Muhmood. That stuff about his marriage and his parents and all that, that's unverified BLP trivia. What do we have left? The mere mention that his tweets were deemed important--an importance which follows from the zine he publishes. (Note that The Next Web may well suffer from some sort of collusion or COI editing--it doesn't even state clearly what the topic is: a magazine.) In fact, I'm tempted to trim the unverified and irrelevant stuff to see what we have left: a sentence. Drmies (talk) 04:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, "but". The "Independent" and "Telegraph" articles are both available from the article. The list looks weird because there are lots of famous people mixed in with obviously non-famous people. Pete Cashmore and UMAIR HAQUE seem to have achieved an even more surprising result than Zee M. Kane. There is a list of people and most of them have over a million followers, then at the top of the list are aparent nonentities like Pete Cashmore, Umair Haque, and Zee M Kane who don't even make six figures. But the thing was published on the websites of the newspaper. It seems like a hoax or a swizz or a fix, doesn't it? But they have successfully hoaxed those newspapers.

 * Delete - appears to have originally been created as a self-bio by Zeedotme, a year later the only thing HighBeam can come with him being "notable" for being high on a list of tweeters, repeated across three publicatios (Independent, Mail, regional echo's of the above two). Unlike Peter Cashmore, doesn't seem to have done much more, hence personally not passing WP:NOTABILITY. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 06:53, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
