Puff piece : tremendously successful, major competitor, championed various innovations, extremely loyal and so on. » Shadowowl | talk 20:10, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Article clearly indicates biography of Vivint co-founder. Granted the "puff" portions are a little blatant and those alone should not be a determining factor to delete the article. Maybe a re-write of the "puff" portions are in order? — Mr X ^☎️ 20:32, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Vivint is big enough/covered enough/sued enough (?) that its co-founder is notable, and can be covered in a stand-alone article. I might have a bit of bias, however, so take my !vote as very weak: I know someone who's an employee. DavidLeeLambert (talk) 14:52, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I was glad to find the article after a Vivint salesman appeared at my door. That was my comment as what I presume to be a "typical" Wikipedia user. Now, for some comments as a Tutnum: The man is CEO and co-founder of a $2B company that we have an article on. The arena the Utah Jazz play in is 3 years into a 10-yr. Vivint naming contract; the man appeared on a prime-time CBS show; he's covered in the media; all that's notable. --YoPienso (talk) 03:12, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've worked on the article quite a bit. There's still a lot to do, specially with the refs, but I think the tag can come off now. YoPienso (talk) 07:10, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
