Seemingly non-notable per Wikipedia's guidelines. Article has been edited by multiple users who seem to be tied to Barone, one of whom admitted they were "part of a development group" which created the article. TraderCharlotte ( talk) 23:52, 7 August 2022 (UTC) reply

I like to include a note to the article subject (in case they see the discussion; I haven't notified them) every time I nominate a person's biography for deletion, so I would like to note to Mr. Barone that just because your article is nominated for deletion, it doesn't mean that your achievements are any less impressive. Wikipedia has strict guidelines for who qualifies for an article. Also, just because this article is nominated, it doesn't necessarily mean that the article will be deleted, this is just a discussion among Wikipedia editors meant to determine what will happen.

• Delete Primary sources and mentions - that's all I found. Fails WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME and WP:GNG Kazanstyle ( talk) 08:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete - I can't find any mention of this person that distinguishes him. He has worked in financial services, runs a family office, and is successful enough to have some very nice hobby interests. He isn't notable by Wikipedia criteria. No secondary or tertiary references, other than a few glancing mentions. Lots of primary sources which doesn't work for WP:NPOV or WP:RS.-- FeralOink ( talk) 12:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• DeletePrimary sources lacks notability. 183.82.108.172 ( talk) 01:16, 13 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete - No third-party reliable sources discuss him with anything but trivial coverage; fails WP:GNG. Given the recreation and apparent interest in a firm of some kind in having an article on this person, the article might need to be salted as well to prevent us from having to come back in a year to have this discussion again. - Aoidh ( talk) 03:57, 14 August 2022 (UTC) reply
