Article appears to assert claim for subject being a criminal. Does not fit WP:CRIME. He is discussed with his role at Tiger Telematics which also contains quite a bit of his biographical information. All the references in this article with the exception of L.A. Times and Sunday Times (both articles written 5 days apart) are about different companies he has been with. The only claim of importance is that of a criminal which does not seem to fit. JakenBox (talk) 21:42, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note - After nominating, I see that this was previously recommended for deletion in 2008. After reading some of the comments from that discussion, another thought would be to redirect into Tiger Telematics as that article contains much of the same information in this biography. --JakenBox (talk) 21:45, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Strong keep. The sources linked in the article prove that the subject of the article falls under a specific exception as described in WP:CRIME: "indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." That this occurred in the video game industry does not make that any less true. Finally, this article was nominated for deletion before and was kept; since then it has been significantly improved with secondary sources. If it was kept then, it should certainly be kept now.

• Keep. I came to Wikipedia to look the guy up. KingHooves (talk) 02:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Universaladdress. Tomas e (talk) 19:15, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - as the two above me have given no reason at all for Keep I will... It is within the criterias for WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:27, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
