why deprodded

edit

from the prod edit summary " This article is unreferenced, so it fails wikipedia's most fundamental policy, of verifiability. The edit screen for creation of a new article clearly warns editors that unreferenced material may be deleted, and this article has been tagged as unreferenced since July 2006, which is quite long enough for references to be have been added. However, they haven't been added, and now it's time for this article to be deleted as unverified. A new article on the subject may of course be written in future, if it is referenced to met WP:V and to establish notability| "

but as the cofounder of a notable company,. he probably is notable. The criterion for deletion is unsourceable, not unsourced. Have you even tried to find sources. The line you refer to is a warning that they may be deleted any time, but they are not required to be., DGG (talk) 18:26, 5 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well five years later still needs work. For example, the TIBCO page does not mention him as a founder. I suspect he was involved in some way, but we need more reliable sources to verify what it was specifically, and use more neutral language. Some of the companies are public, so we should be able to dig out the SEC documents for example. W Nowicki (talk) 23:48, 10 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
