Fails WP:GNG. Besides the one non-dead link, there is another tech article about him in a Google Archive News search, and that's it. I removed an article about an encounter he had with police in NYC as it had nothing to do with him as a businessman, just an isolated event in his life that was reported along with other similar incidents in the NYT. Based on Recall Media Group's website, he is not the founder, but possibly a co-founder. He doesn't seem to be part of the company anymore. Bbb23 (talk) 22:32, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep The one source that isn't a dead link is wp:notability-suitable. RW notability to meet wp:notability looks possible but unestablished. The article, short as it is, includes hype and questionable claims. North8000 (talk) 22:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Neutral, leaning towards Delete I was semi-active in the domain industry for a while in the early to mid 00's. He was a conference-circuit guy, owns some decent, developed web properties but in recent years, has significantly lowered his profile (which wasn't ever that substantial) and kinda dropped off the face of the earth. Per some quick googling and checking-in with the old sources I recall were standard in that industry, it seems as if he's arrived at the status of a "what ever happened to..." in the domainer world. Honestly, I don't think owning some good domain names with lead generation templates rises to the level of wp:Notability, but who knows. FactsAndHonesty (talk) 06:04, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Non-notable. His company doesn't even have a Wiki article; why should he, if that's his only claim to fame? Softlavender (talk) 12:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I'll change my above 'leaning-neutral' to a firm delete, on a relative basis. There are several other domainers who are much more prominent (and accomplished) who do not have Wikipedia articles. I realize that relativity isn't always the best metric for a keep/delete debate, but the domain speculation space is pretty esoteric. If premier players don't warrant an article, I don't really think Sahar does. Whatever notoriety he had was reflective of a space in time. He's deliberately lowered his profile, deleted his blog, I don't think he attends industry events anymore, so even if his activities were, at one time, sufficient for wp:notability (he would've been a VERY marginal inclusion even then) they certainly aren't anymore FactsAndHonesty (talk) 02:02, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
