I am not seeing any sources that would meet the notability guideline at WP:BASIC. Snippet-quotes does not significant coverage make. VQuakr (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Sources consist of 1-2 trade magazine "interviews" of questionable independence and notability, some short quotations as mentioned above, and a few trivial listings and routine business messages. Other sources via Google-search (mostly tabloids and columnists with branche-internal gossip) report about some scandals and criticism, but I wouldn't consider such sources "reliable" for WP:BLP-purposes. Apparently Kimball is somewhat known within the branche, but there is no independent in-depth coverage to establish general notability. A last point: listing "America’s Advanced industries" among his published works is misleading, even with the added disclaimer. He is merely thanked as one in a list of 30+ additional persons for minor assistance or support. GermanJoe (talk) 09:05, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks. Yes, it looks like this article qualifies for WP:G4 and WP:G5. VQuakr (talk) 02:57, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
