nervous that Jain might still be trying to control his own coverage. This is not intended as a criticism of anyone involved in this debate, and
Knowledge is not required to have an article on everyone in the world who the press has not been happy with. Nonetheless, the InfoSpace and Intelius dramas have drawn enough attention and evoked enough press response to formally justify us treating this subject. This is a person who was required by a court to pay a fine of over 100 million dollars! Please explain to me why that's so minor that WP should not cover it. Of course we need to be as neutral as possible in reflecting what has been reported. It would be reasonable for the article to be expanded to a more complete biography, using the references that have lately been added to the talk page. Those references establish that this expansion could be done by anyone willing to spend the time.
724:(counting myself) one of which seems to be a "soft" (ValkyrieOfOdin's), I guess I will withdrew my AfD proposal (though I still stand by the asserthion that if you fold the relevent information to their respective company article page (InfoSpace, Intelliuse and such) what is left is of little value, if there is a need to discuss this event in a singel articl , then an article on the event will suit it better (as I have tried to do, but it got deleted since it was considered an attack article, which under the same assertions made for that one, I can say the same about the Naveen article). --
460:
it stands, the guy founded companies, made money, lost money, got sued, payed money ... I'm finding myself yawning, wondering who cares. All I'm advocating is that the meat of why he did it, who he is- all the interesting bits that aren't in there- are included in the article so it's engaging and informative. There's no need for a counter-point here, this is only my opinion and I'm not suggesting my opinion is sufficient reason to keep or delete. Good luck and I'm interested to see how this process works. ;)
653:- I agree with AlexKel that this article is more f a resume than biographical information for this person. This article is also full of inaccuracies. I didn't find in the referenced article where it says that Jain invested 5 Million in Freei and I don't event nderstand why this information belongs on the perrson's biography.
376:, this person has news coverage for a single event and is not notable otherwise. If the article were expanded to a proper biography, I would vote keep despite the lack of notability, but given that there is insufficient coverage of the subject for more than a resume, I see no compelling reason for this article to exist.
613:- This Article has no biographical value and should be deleted. We would never allow an Article on 'Barack Obama' to be on Knowledge just from Fox News. Similarly, we shouldn't allow this article to exist to be written based on single event as described by a biased reporter with no comment from the other side.

in
January, 2008. One of the IPs trying to remove critical references from the article was shown by Whois to be registered to Naveen Jain himself. I suppose a person who has negative press coverage would like to see it kept out of view, so I was somewhat troubled to see this AfD nomination, and felt

Thanks for the link. That discussion seemed inconclusive, but you've been active on his page for a long time, so I'm sure you have a much clearer view of why this article needs to exist. I bow to your seniority, only suggesting that if it stays, it is made into a proper bio rather than a resume. As

I guess my perspective is that there are not "numerous notable events" in the article and that is what I dispute, not the sources. Probably if you articulate what events are notable and why you see them as such, it would be helpful to the debate. There appears to be one event (the
Infospace event)

vs those that do not because no one has bothered to comment on any of the sources at all. However, just a quick skim shows that Red
Herring(1997), Sunday Business (2000) both contain significant coverage while predating Jain's business and legal problems at InfoSpace. Additional such sources are

516:
a few days ago on my initial view of the article, I was pretty sure it was a "delete" under 1BPE and UNDUE. But since then the article has been cleaned up a lot and there appear to be enough (perhaps passing) mentions about enough different events over a sustained period of time to meet
292:. The article has multiple, independent, reliable sources documenting multiple events in Jain's life that have significant coverage in those sources. Additional such sources have been provided on the article talk page for expansion. This is detailed in
697:. The suggestion above that this is a single event reported on by a single biased reporter is simply wrong; a quick cruise through Google News for Naveen Jain will show many pertinent articles in the New York Times, Washington Post, and others. --
411:
The article documents numerous notable events without anyone contesting even one of the sources. How do you rectify your perspective with the facts of the situation (the multiple, uncontested sources documenting multiple, notable events).
371:
yes, the sources in the biography are credible, but they are in relation to one event (part of the larger deflation of the dot-com bubble) and many of the articles are not even about this person. Per my reading of
