There are no sources that cover this small business owner in substantial depth. The article relies on a mix of primary sources (company website + court document), sources that are about his company that already has an article, and sources like the NYT link that doesn't appear to actually mention him. The remainder are brief mentions. There is already an article on his business (barely notable as it is) and I don't see a need for a separate one on him.

Comment - I've not worked on the Dennis Toeppen article, I have however spent some time previously working tirelessly on the Suburban Express article. I would be careful to ensure that few editors from that article begin to rain down on this AfD discussion. As CorporateM has suggested on the talk page, there have been a number of COI edits involving this subject. Verdict78 (talk) 15:44, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

I notice that this article has been edited by an SPA User:Gulugawa and a regular disinterested editor User:TheOriginalSoni. Verdict has not made edits to this page. However, since the company page has a long history of sockpuppets and COI editing, the closing admin would need to be especially careful looking out for that in "votes."

• Keep - I agree that given the article subject's relation with his bus company and the relevant off and on wiki notoriety, the article should have been taken with extreme caution and it should have been checked in detail whether or not he fell under our notability guidelines. I do contend however, that there are more than a number of sources, particularly books, which talk in detail about his early years. In this context, as well as part of his bus company, I believe Dennis has been covered in sufficient depth to meet general notability guidelines. There are several sources referenced in the article which would prove the same. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 20:15, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
