The result was keep. The sources provided went mostly uncontested - a slapdash "media citations are not sufficient" isn't enough to negate them and the !vote "leaning" towards delete is qualifying their vote as they don't appear to be certain about whether the sources are sufficient.

Keep Article needs significant trimming to cut out PR, but
AfD is not cleanup, and the
Forbes and
WSJ articles in particular go a long way to demonstrating the subject meets
WP:GNG.

@
Winged Blades of Godric: Fair enough, but doesn't the presence of the interview in generally reliable and noteworthy publications indicate the subject is on the way to notability?

Comment Q&As are generally not good sources because they're not independent. None of the links below are Q&As; they are mainly editorial.

Keep. Goldstein is a significant figure in the history of internet advertising, and has more than enough reliable secondary source coverage to establish notability.

Delete I don't see any case for notability; the media citations are not sufficient. There's a case that he is likely wealthy, but that's different from notability.
