This non-notable person is an unreference BLP. It was made too long ago to qualify for BLP PROD. Miami33139 (talk) 04:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as unreferenced BLP. Mostly a blogger and consultant (read: Internet famous), the subject is not clearly notable and there are no reliable, independent sources that give him significant coverage so far as I can tell. Steven Walling 04:44, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - at this time I can not say one way or the other. There does not appear to be any significant coverage of him, but he is quoted often. The NYT, Business Week, NetworkWorld.com, Sydney Morning Herald and the Washington Post have all quoted him as an expert. I see that there isn't significant coverage, but he is looking notable to me. ~~ GB fan ~~ talk 07:23, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but we can't use quotes of his in newspapers to verify any real facts about him, other than the fact that's he's occasionally quoted in the press. For verification purposes much of the mentions of him in sources are worthless, practically speaking. If everyone who was quoted in the NYT was eligible for an article, that would include me. ;) Steven Walling 15:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - you are right, I have looked more and can not find anything to support an article of him. ~~ GB fan ~~ talk 08:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
