Routine mentions, fails WP:GNG. US-Verified (talk) 01:43, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — The subject is covered by multiple sources independent of him. We can argue that some of them do not cover him in-depth, but that doesn't make all his sources "Routine mentions". Even his primary sources are from CNN, Yahoo News, and Bloomberg. He is already mentioned within other existing Wikipedia articles. Two of the companies he co-founded already have articles: Archer Aviation and Vettery.71.187.190.229 (talk) 15:52, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - could use clean up and might have potential COI but seems to have enough references to support notability and quality. - Indefensible (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Adcock has pioneered notable companies such as Archer Aviation (that have developed air taxis used by United Airlines) and Figure (which is developing an AI robot), as noted by reliable sources such as TechCrunch. [1] The article, which passes WP:GNG, could be expanded from its present form, rather than being deleted. desmay (talk) 20:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Though the article is currently barebones, it clearly passes WP:N and can be improved with the abundance of references that discuss him in depth, such as this one [2]. Knox490 (talk) 13:07, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Notable executive and founder of two highly notable companies, Vettery and Archer Aviation. Meets WP:SIGCOV since he has been cited in multiple top-tier newspapers and publications. Batmanthe8th (talk) 16:25, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He is the inventor of an eVTOL aircraft that is being used en masse by major airlines, such as United Airlines, as seen here. The subject easily passes notability and WP:GNG. Hkkingg (talk) 21:32, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The editor who nominated this article for deletion has a COI and is apparently biased towards the subject. How do I know? He took back the article of Figure to the Draftspace, then immediately nominated Adcock's article for deletion. What kind of an editor does that? 213.202.147.85 (talk) 17:03, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
