There was a flash of coverage when Ducas rose to attention as a young investor, but there has been nothing since to indicate he's a notable businessperson. I do not believe the BI list reaches the level of ANYBIO Star Mississippi 19:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- delete It looks like Ducas Capital never got any further than a Wordpress blog, His consulting business was recently wound up. MNewnham (talk) 00:33, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Majority of coverage dates from 2013 to 2015 and article has existed since 2014. If was notable for 9 years, should still be notable. Coverage was also from reputable sources including Forbes, CNBC, Business Insider.

- Delete I only find one significant source, the Forbes (Strauss) article. There are lots of commercial links to his training modules, but nothing independent. Looking through the page history I found at least six SPA's, each with only a handful of edits. I suspect socking. The most recent one was in 2019 (User:Betternet4211) so perhaps this has run its course (maybe except for the one appearing here). This fellow is looking like a flash-in-the-pan, as I see no new content; training courses are undated but everything else dates from 2014-2017. Lamona (talk) 05:20, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
