Only notability seems to be as a co-founder of Kiva. Suggest we change this to a redirect to Kiva (organization). Edwardx ( talk) 14:45, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

- Delete as suggested by K.e.coffman. There's little in the way of sourcing from high-quality media, and most of the references are dead links. The article doesn't even seem to claim notability beyond Flannery being a founder of Kiva, so it seems like a no-brainer. Zortwort ( talk) 23:31, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
I've changed my vote, as I agree with coffman's rationale. Zortwort ( talk) 01:22, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete: does not meet WP:ANYBIO; significant RS coverage not found. I'm not a fan of redirect for BLP names to companies, hence my "delete" recommendation. K.e.coffman ( talk) 03:18, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per K.e.coffman. Redirecting BLPs is non-ideal in that it means that they are associated with articles where there actions have no bearing about potentially problematic content that could be associated with their name on the 5th most popular website in the world.
