the company he cofounded is notable--he is not. The material here is inappropriate for an encyclopedia--his parents' accomplishments , his amateur athletics, his girlfriend. The sources are trivial gossip notes. DGG (

The definition of an encyclopedia is 'giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject' this is what I've done. Perhaps the subject matter doesn't interest you but he's been documented heavily around his 'amatuer athletic' achivements and charitable donations. — Preceding

Redirect to
Sportlobster - I am not finding sources extensively discussing him allowing him to meet
WP:PERSON. There's an interview with him on Computer Weekly, but it's interviewing him in the capacity of a Sportlobster executive - the focus is on Sportlobster's plans, strategy, etc - there's no material about Mr. Cary personally. The podcast interview is better but not really a source for notability, and there's a lifestyle piece and a friend's blog about his (admittedly pretty damn impressive) amateur athletics career - but he doesn't meet
WP:NATHLETE for that. I definitely think he's more notable than his partner
Olivia arben, an article on whom by the same editor I speedied, and we can reconsider this in future if his subsequent career gets more attention, but right now as Sportlobster seems to be notable a redirect seems best. The author says he is a friend of the subject and this article is clearly the result of some thought so I'm sorry about this, but this isn't right for us at the moment. (Just to explain to the page creator - all of this material e.g. family background could be appropriate if this person was already notable - but it’s not enough for us to take an article on by itself, especially if it’s from your own knowledge of your friend and not from published material.)

Redirect to
Sportlobster. Source searches are not providing enough coverage to qualify a standalone article. Redirection is functional as per
WP:ATD-R, as this is a valid search term. North America1000 08:11, 19 August 2017 (UTC)reply
