[edit] Bede Moore

Contrary to the opinion of the de-prodder, press coverage of the dating service this person founded makes the dating service notable, not him. He's got little in the way of Google hits, and being an editor at the Harvard Crimson doesn't quite qualify, as "Any student who volunteers and completes a series of requirements known as the "comp" is elected an "editor" of the newspaper.". Weak delete per WP:BIO. Sandstein 18:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete JDate is a significant and popular website and being its founder is notable. However I haven't been able to find any evidence that Bede Moore actually founded JDate. The article on Moore has a redline wikilink (it should be JDate not J-Date). If someone can provide a reliable source showing that Moore is the founder of JDate, I'll switch my vote to Keep, but as this article stands its a Delete for me. Gwernol

• Delete nn, vanity, probably nonsense article. A current Harvard senior could not have founded a dating site over four years ago (as a high-schooler!) and sold it to Match.com without it being mentioned somewhere. Also, he's most likely not Jewish, given his name, so what motivation would he have to start a Jewish dating site? Lastly, I happen to be a Harvard student myself, and the person who started the article in the first place is most likely a friend of his given the internal university directory information.
