Not independently notable, lack WP:RS, fails WP:GNG, clearly corporate spam. Meeanaya (talk) 13:12, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well I did not say that. I merely stated that there is a lot of chaff out there since Borish is a stock market commentator. Anyhow, a vandal hit the article on 5 March 2019 and hid most of the references which the nominator did not seem to notice or check why there are 31 citation numerals and only 5 citations appearing below. This article passed AfD before and his been around since 2012. It should have been hit with a request for more citations tag with a note placed on the talk page. It definitely needs a cleanup and some dead links repaired. Her edits show she spent 2 minutes between tagging AfDs. How can you go through 31 sources that fast?

  • Keep and restore some of the deleted content. I wish Meeanaya would be somewhat less active in his deletionism; he causes way too much to save articles on marginally notable people. Dicklyon (talk) 00:16, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep thanks to the diligence of Patapsco913. I think between the books and the Bloomberg the case is made for WP:NCORP. It is difficult to sift through all of the primary material (contributions, video interviews, etc.) to find in-depth coverage of the man (which is at least a little ironic, right?), but I appreciate that there seems to also be a lot of dated material not available in GNews. For example, there's an oft cited Barron's profile of Tudor Jones in which Borish's model–and the fact that he fudged some of the data when overlaying charts–is discussed in depth, and I imagine there was significant press when this model correctly predicted the market crash later that year. Similarly, there has to have been coverage of this co-founder back in 1988 during the launch of the Robin Hood Foundation, I just can't find anything digitized.
