[edit] Kyle Melwing

Supposedly "of the 20th centuries most acclaimed internet tycoon figures." I'm pretty sure that anyone who actually qualifies as an Internet tycoon gets more than three Google hits, and hits from somewhere other than the website for Troop 167. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:24, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable - 3 Google hits, vanity. Megan1967 08:04, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, what Antaeus Feldspar said. Mgm|^(talk) 09:38, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Is one of the 20th centuries most acclaimed internet tycoon figures in the same way as I am one of the 13th centuries most acclaimed philosophers - i.e. not at all. Average Earthman 10:25, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete while Radium5 does seem to exist, it's very obscure, with some 250 Google hits, most of which are "minor" things like URL matches, and only 1 Google Groups hit. If it truly had the sort of multibillion-dollar growth as described in the article, it would be a Fortune 500 company by now, which it obviously isn't. It's either deliberate fraud or a joke (the joke theory being supported by the final two paragraphs). If Mr. Melwing (or whoever wrote the article) happens to read this, I would like to suggest to them that it isn't generally a good idea to publically claim to have 40+ billion dollars when you really don't, as groups like the IRS and the CIA tend to take notice of such things.
