On the one hand, another editor has tagged this as spam. On the other, the article asserts notability in the following terms: "Jones has been the subject of over 100 magazine and syndicated newspaper articles, including BusinessWeek, International Design Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and Abitare and is frequently interviewed for books related to design and business. He contributed to the editing of the recently released Creating Breakthrough Products by authors Cagan and Vogel published in 2001, and was featured in a chapter in the Cagan/Vogel book The Design of Things to Come, published in 2005. Jones has received over 30 (100) international awards for product design excellence and has been awarded in excess of 20 patents." Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:06, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete There are no 100 articles about him. There are press releases and some articles that quote him. CorporateDesignFoundation (talk · contribs) who created the article has COI. Sole Soul (talk) 01:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice - no credible assertions of notability. No footnotes worth mentioning; a lot of "references" that are just press releases. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:34, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. To be fair, references such as this one from the New York Times quote him in the context of industrial design projects he was involved in. This Google News archive search shows several articles from reliable sources in which Jones talks about design issues. The articles aren't exclusively about him, but they support the claim that he is an important American industrial designer. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
