I don't believe that founding one company makes you notable. The company itself might be notable, but the founder does not inherit notability from that. Harry the Dog WOOF 12:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Agree with nom. Possible redirect? — Timneu22 · talk 14:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The references in the article point to significant coverage in reliable sources, and focus at least as much on the subject as on the business that he founded. There is probably a strong case to be made for a merge with

I only see inherited notability from the business. All the coverage of Mohr is in relation to the business. What awards etc. had Mohr personally won that would make him notable had he not founded the business? I can find none. As I said in the nom, simply founding a business does not make one notable.

• Delete (as per nom) and Merge (as per suggestion). Stalwart111 (talk) 12:46, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deletion and merger are incompatible. Pick one. Uncle G (talk) 13:04, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry: Delete article as per nom, and Merge some content from article into the artical about the business he founded. Stalwart111 (talk) 13:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's still not picking one. One or the other; you cannot have both. Uncle G (talk) 14:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm wondering whether anyone who is calling for redirection rather than merging has noticed that, before the nominator removed it, the article contained biographical information about the subject's life prior to his creating AnyJunk, which is verified by the sources in the article.

The information I removed had no references attached to it, and in any event does not indicate notability. It was CV material. Anyone can post his CV, as indeed it appears the subject of this article's marketing manager did, so we have COI issues on top of everything else. Harry the Dog WOOF

• • If the result is redirect, which it looks like it will be, that doesn't stop you adding some verified info about him to AnyJunk. Indeed, you could do so right now. Fences&Windows 03:10, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - In answer to Phil's question, yes I looked at the article history prior and saw the removed material before deciding to !vote redirect. -- Whpq (talk) 11:31, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect Seems to be only noteable due to the company he founded. Not a public figure of interest. The Eskimo 15:48, 20 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eskimo.the (talk • contribs)
