Speedy delete does not meet WP:ANYBIO, I suspect it is probaably a vanity page. Author persistently removing speedy delete notices, despite being told not to. Barney the barney barney (talk) 14:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC) Barney the barney barney (talk) 14:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is a valid article. The author is citing reputable sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristofmcking (talk • contribs) 14:41, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - let's have a look at the sources in this stable version. Reference 1, 3,4 and 5 are to crunchbase, which uses Wiki software, so is editable by anyone including the subject who apparently wrote the pages [1], and doesn't meet Wikipedia standards for reliability. References 2, 6, 7 8 and 9 do not mention Steve Lyons. 6 establishes that an app exists, but not its notability. 7 is about a TV show, 8 an interview of JJ Abrams by someone, and 9 is a closed blog. The author (you) hasn't cited any reliable sources. Barney the barney barney (talk) 16:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Most of the refs are not reliable, vanity page. GregJackP Boomer! 16:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No reliable sources that discuss the subject in depth. Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:01, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy STRONG delete: I am very impressed with this editor's autobiography. He remained neutral, factual and impersonal. PrairieKid (talk) 05:30, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete interesting twist, instead of "three kids and an app" it seems "one kid and three apps". But still not notable. W Nowicki (talk) 23:53, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
