[edit] David Koretz

This article is a clear conflict of interest. Essentially a one-editor article, we get the bio straight from (and apparently only from) the horse's mouth, so it fails WP:AUTO and WP:RS. OK, seems to have done some impressive things, but have we seen it all before? I smell pork. Blue Tie is a startup which opened its doors in October 2006. David Koretz gets 176 unique Ghits; Blue Tie Inc gets 34 unique Ghits, many links to the company's website, directories and to wiki mirrors. The article was userfied in July by User:NMChico24, and it got put back by the author at the end of October. By putting his article here, he's merely following his own advice as published here.

• Delete "At 17 years old, he became the youngest person in history to receive venture capital. [citation needed]" Too right a citation's needed, that's a hell of a claim. Probably WP:COI, definately unverified/OR. -- IslaySolomon | talk 12:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
