The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. The article has 19 sources, but the out of 6 I checked, 3 don't mention the subject, two do in passing, and one seems to have a broken link. The article is primarily based on sources discussion companies and business enterprises the subject was involved in, and is not even focused much on the subject in the body. It seems like a spam piece, through whether for the subject, product or a company, I am not sure. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to pass any relevant notability requirements. PS. This article is shares almost all of the content with Sebastian Solano (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sebastian Solano) and Patryk Tracz (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patryk Tracz)...

  • Hey, page maker here. I think merging them all to a page for "The Committee" would be a good option (maybe on the life in color page), using the same guideline used for bandmembers; I went ahead and made three new separate pages (similar to the original Lukasz Tracz one), just because I didn't predict the research would be so similar, but except Solano they turned out almost all the same. I do think all 4 independently pass the GNG for company founders (per if the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability), so I wouldn't agree with deleting any info overall.
