An advertorially toned page on an unremarkable entrepreneur. He is associated with one notable entity, Qwiki, but not independently notable. Article copy is mostly about the company. Significant RS coverage not found; what comes up is passing mentions, WP:SPIP and / or not independent of the company. The company has been acquired in 2013; the subject does not appear to have done anything notable in other ventures since. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:55, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The editor nominating this article for deletion cannot justify that this article refers to a person who is not notable. The individual clearly obtained many press mentions over a lengthy period of time, as demonstrated in the RS, including three mentions as "Highest in class" awards - as the winner of TechCrunch Disrupt, and being named on "Top 100" lists by Business Insider over a number of years - for achievements on opposite coasts. The article also clearly states the individual is currently active as an investor, with investments current as of 2018, including many best in class companies (IE, "Uber"). With so many RS, the deletion of this article (which has existed since 2010) is puzzling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.109.165 (talk) 04:35, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note Section subheaders are unhelpful in AfD discussions, as they add a confusing ToC entry to any page in which this page is transcluded. I have removed the section subheader from the above comment. Bakazaka (talk) 05:21, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Qwiki. I was going to say merge, but there really is very little substantial, independent coverage of the person as opposed to their business. What he is known and covered for is Qwiki, that's where the name should point you. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:02, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
