BLP doesn't seem to meet WP:NBIO- the individual (rather than the companies) lacks in-depth coverage in independent sources. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:20, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Unfortunately, not enough notability present as of now. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 22:39, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Engineering, and New Zealand. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 07:02, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Notability, if any, is for the companies not the individual, so fails GNG. Also note the article creator is a SPA which suggests COI. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 09:09, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete There is insufficient notability for the subject. In addition, it meets criterion number 4 of WP:DEL-REASON as in its current form, it's just an advertisement for the subject's business activities. Schwede66 09:23, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Significant coverage of the subject in [1] and [2]. Promotional issues in such a short article can be easily fixed. ~Kvng (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Hello Kvng. Those two articles are interview-based and therefore aren't independent coverage. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 23:00, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  There's a difference between interview-based and an interview. But even a straight-up WP:INTERVIEW may contain some WP:SECONDARY material if the introduction is comprehensive enough. There are some sources cited here that are interviews or only mention the subject in the context of a quote, said Little. The two I've listed here do go further than that. ~Kvng (talk) 14:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete pure not hidden advertisement. --多少 战场 龙 (talk) 13:59, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - New Zealand's business and innovation landscape is small with companies such as Rocket Lab, Xero, Exsurgo and Rex Bionics gaining public interest as high profile enterpreneur-led organisations. Sunshineyellow2014 (talk) 08:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note for the closer: this is the first and only edit of this account. Schwede66 08:42, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete The article content is almost entirely about the company and its products, not the person. The notability of the person has not been sufficiently established. --Marshelec (talk) 05:08, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
