Article is not notable - the company Andy Nulman is President and CMO of doesn't have an article, so why should he? Callumm (talk) 16:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Delete Appears to be a vanity page. lk (talk) 16:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Accomplishments = vanity? Gobbon

Comment Gobbon has just vandalized my user page, which leads me to believe that he is not a good NPV source of information about this subject.

Oops, I think I know what happened. My 'leave me a message' link on my user page was misdirected to my user page instead of my talk page. I've fixed it now. Sorry for the misunderstanding. lk (talk) 10:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I did not "vandalize," I left a comment. Please excuse me if I did so in the wrong place. I am truly and sincerely sorry Gobbon

Comment P.S. He's the President and CMO, not CEO. And his company is listed in the article about Deloitte's fastest growing companies. The company he WAS CEO of (Just For Laughs) has an article. And he is listed in the Business and Philanthropy section of the List of Canadian Jews article. Gobbon

Delete Sorry for the error in his title (it has now been changed). I note the company is in Deloitte Fast 500, but 1 out of the 15 companies mentioned has articles. I don't think this makes him, or his company notable. List of Canadian Jews also doesn't make him notable - there's loads of Canadian Jews. Andy Nulman's article does not satisfy WP:BIO, and his company, which doesn't even have an article, doesn't satisfy WP:ORG. In addition, Andy Nulman isn't mentioned in Just for Laughs, so I doubt his significance to the company/festival. Callumm (talk) 07:28, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Callum, you seem to have made this into a personal vendetta. There are indeed loads of Canadian Jews, but the ones listed in List of Canadian Jews are, to quote the article, "prominent Canadian Jews (Jewish Canadians)" and include the likes of eBay's Jeff Skoll, Samuel Bronfman, Lorne Michaels, Ivan Reitman, William Shatner, Geddy Lee of Rush, Saul Bellow, and Leonard Cohen. Maybe they should be deleted, too.

As for his significance to Just For Laughs, there wouldn't be one without him. From an article in Variety which talked about his resignation: "Under Nulman's tenure, the festival grew from a minor comedy event to one of the key comedy festivals internationally. Nulman was also active in the TV sphere, creating and executive producing over 150 Just For Laughs TV shows in a variety of languages around the globe." The Wikipedia article on Just For Laughs doesn't even mention Gilbert Rozon, who founded the event. Add to this his speaking, authorship of books, TV show production, etc. There are thousands of people with Wikipedia pages with far fewer accomplishments who deserve the attention of your eagle eye.
