I just can't see how this person is notable by our standards. The sources in our article are very poor – at least three do not mention him at all, one is an "interview", presumably actually an exchange of emails, five are Google patents search results. I've already removed crunchbase and prnewswire. He gets a few hits on GNews, several of them to press-releases, but neither as many or as solid as, for example the ticket tout of the same name.

Thanks! This is not the Andrew Newman. When I was looking for personalities, Microsoft stumbled upon this person. --Arxivist (talk) 17:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Using patents as refs are very very poor, and I think illegal on here. Highly promotional. Fail WP:BIO. scope_creep^Talk 11:30, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Suited to: The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. Hello @Atlantic306:!

Delete. I am unable to find substantive coverage in reliable sources, or any other evidence of notability. Vanamonde (Talk) 04:07, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The given articles don't look like they count towards demonstrating that the subject passes WP:GNG. I also found this interview, but it's from the community feed of Spiceworks which doesn't really count as a reliable source. There are some other small articles about some of the projects and startups that he has worked on in the past, but none are significant coverage about him from reliable sources.
The claim for point 2 of WP:ANYBIO mentioned above is also unconvincing, as the footnote for that point reads Generally, a person who is "part of the enduring historical record" will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books on that field, by historians — MarkH21 (talk) 06:01, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
