very weak keep Seems almost like fluff but there are a number of references and reliable sources. This article is of more value than some porn films or video game articles in wikipedia. AGrandeFan (talk) 22:23, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Very little reliable source information showing up for this individual, and nothing to indicate he meets notability. He does run a family foundation and shares a name with an art gallery at a notable university, but they appear to have been founded by an earlier family member. One possible claim of notability (founder of Chiaroscuro Records) in the article appears to be a factual error, since references show it to have been founded by a Hank O'Neal. Overall, it doesn't look like the subject means WP:GNG.PohranicniStraze (talk) 22:27, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. It's helpful to go back to general notability guidelines. While Mr Sordoni doubtless had a successful career and seems to have had positive influence as a philanthropist, there seems to be a dearth of sources which would a) discuss him in any depth, and b) be sufficiently independent from him. Yes, there are references and sources in the article, but they are passing mentions, mass produced/insight free (e.g. listing in databases of directors), or linked to his organizations, and thus not independent. I took a guick look in Google and didn't find others. Therefore we can't write an article about him. Martinp (talk) 20:59, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
