  • Comment. I recommend avoiding terms like "vanity" which might offend the article's creator. The article makes several assertions of notability, but is unreferenced. It appears to be an autobiography, since the creator is User:Scottagross --Eastmain (talk) 23:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep the person seems notable, they co-founded a major company.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurowoofwoof111 (talk • contribs)
    • Is the company a "major" one? According to their own website, [1] they are a "small business". If wikipedia had a page for everyone who set up one of those, then that would mean almost everyone over the age of 18. Ogranut (talk)
  • Comment While I declined a speedy deletion request on this article based upon notability claims therein, I am not yet convinced we should or should not keep the article. Aleta Sing 01:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment check this article out Ohconfucius (talk) 02:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Article asserts notability but needs extensive additional sourcing from reliable secondary sources. The involvement of the subject is troubling but not an immediate disqualification if that independent sourcing can be added. - Dravecky (talk) 05:37, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - This Scott Gross setup his own biography here with no secondary sources. Until there are secondary sources confirming who he is any information post must be assumed to be biased. - Ctempleton3 (talk) 06:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - Per CSD G11, nothing more than self promotion. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 19:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
