Non-notable individual with very minor mentions pertaining to his cars and ecigs. Best source I could find is this quasi-advertorial about billionaires, having 2 brief paragraphs on him specifically. No SIGCOV, therefore failing the GNG. PK650 (talk) 22:52, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable businessman. It is in part the glut of articles on non-notable businessmen that will push us over 1 million articles on living people if we do not do something soon.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:18, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete Most of his claim is related to LOGIC (electronic cigarette), but the rest doesn't seem to satisfy notability. Alansohn (talk) 21:34, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Browsed through several articles that met SIGCOV on Panes. Meets GNG. Additionally, having played a role in the e-cigarette epidemic, I'm not so sure we should be quick to whitewash history by deleting it. Not to engage in Whataboutism, but Adam Bowen, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Bowen founder of Juul also has a page, which we should probably process in the same way that we do this one, and frankly the more we can have stubs like this, the more there will be a historical record of this time. Plenty of WP:V Also, PK650 seems to have recently joined, per his about page, and quickly moved to nominating AFD, and I'd like to ask, and will post re: COI GrangerShots (talk) 15:00, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GrangerShots, casting shade at someone for "not being here for very long" is a pretty daring move for someone with a red talk page link as of this writing. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 16:45, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Having worked there I'm going to use an IP. But the ovreall number of articles on living people is an overall Wikipedia issues; whereas for this one we need to apply the rules and evaluate each on their individual basis. I'd go with Rosguill's idea, redirect, till this can get built out more. In fact, I'm happy to start doing that. 165.73.68.48 (talk) 15:22, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
