An advertorially toned page for an unremarkable businessperson. Significant RS coverage not found. The claim to notability in the article as the CEO of one of the first internet companies has not resulted in sources that discuss the subject of the article directly and in detail: sample book search result; I'm seeing directory listings only. Article has a history of apparent SPA / COI based editing, with maintenance tags persistently removed by IPs. K.e.coffman ( talk) 00:37, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete per nom; pure promotion.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 13:35, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete a non-notable businessman. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 02:24, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as a promotional article that was likely commissioned by an undeclared paid editor in violation of the terms of use. Local policy also excludes it per WP:NOTSPAM. TonyBallioni ( talk) 03:42, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
