very probably a WP:PAID piece. Fails WP:GNG The sources are as follows, 1:List of board members so affiliated, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, : interviews so primary sources, 5:An author biography so affiliated, 8: a mention on list of 100 people (is this enough...probably not) 9: a passing mention, 10:an article the subject wrote so not of use to show notability 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 : documents from or web sites for companies for which he is a board member so affiliated, Dom from Paris ( talk) 16:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

- Comment article already deleted once (didn't see that at first) but as quite a few of the sources are post deletion (December 2016) I thought I'd let it ride. Dom from Paris ( talk) 16:48, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep He was included into WIRE's top 100 in 2016, enough for me. If anything, the article should be nominated for the cleanup/improvement. --

- Really? Sounds like
WP:IJUSTLIKEIT. GNG requires more than that.

- Also if you look at the reason why he was included in the list it was for his participation in UNDO Labs that reinvented the shoelace...this company has disappeared without trace or almost http://www.undolabs.com and not surprisingly it is not mentioned by the editor having created this paid piece.

- Delete - Article doesn't meet GNG, with articles failing the standard Sig Cov/Reliable/Independent mix (the latter including both interviews/press releases and board member written articles). The suggestion of the Wired article being enough is farcical. Nosebagbear ( talk) 19:09, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as spam on nn individual; fails WP:ANYBIO / WP:PROMO. No value to the project. K.e.coffman ( talk) 06:17, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
