Unable to find any significant coverage. He founded a seemingly WP:NN company with a few passing mentions in the press. The article seems to be a PR piece. Toddst1 (talk) 21:32, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are too many people by the name of Alex Crutchfield. It's necessary to add more info to identify this person. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 23:32, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored an older version, full of links that don't support the claims and unreferenced claims of grandeur to facilitate this discussion. Toddst1 (talk) 01:01, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Strangely the Bloomberg profile was removed. It did exist back in 2016 according to the wayback machine. AFAIK, they remove the profiles only by user request. If the subject didn't want to have a public profile, then there shouldn't be a WP article either. I support the deletion. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 20:07, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Non-notable enough to pass ANYBIO. Kolma8 (talk) 17:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

* Keep. Recent work to remedy some of the article's issues have improved it, and are ongoing. It's reasonable to foresee that, given his age and career trajectory, he is only going to become increasingly prominent as time goes on.

How is he notable NOW? That's all that matters per WP:CRYSTAL. Toddst1 (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

* Keep. Vast international business expertise and involvement in several companies suggests considerable notoriety within the business world. Impending IPO could significantly increase wealth to further notable levels. Jax2114 (talk) 18:34, 25 May 2021 (UTC) — Jax2114 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Suggesting considerable notoriety within the business world in no way comes close to passing WP:BIO. Toddst1 (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
