The result was delete. The consensus is that the sources identified do not establish GNG. That doesn't mean that an article can't be written in the future and I encourage this effort to occur in Draft space. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I don't find any sources, this reads like an extended linkedin profile. Oaktree b (talk) 17:44, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No sources found for the bio information in this article. I do find info on his "block-chain-your-art" company Verisart and am surprised that no article has been done given the block-chain mania, but did not go far enough into that to determine if GNG could be met for the company.

• Weak Keep, Maybe Rewrite I searched Robert Norton and the name of the company and found a lot of quality news sources on google. I am not going through each one but, it seems a good portion of the article could be sourced. The issue is the article deals largely with his investors in his art company. The bio needs to be redone but, there seems to be enough press from legit sources. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 19:47, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I actually just looked at the company website. There are more than enough articles to establish notability for the company and likely him as well. There are probably close to 100 with everything from the New Yorker to the NY Times. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 19:49, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  ScienceAdvisor, could you list some of the articles that you think support the bio? Thanks, Lamona (talk) 17:13, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  There are hundreds on google of you search "robert Lloyd verisart".. or you can visit his company page at https://verisart.com/press .. I'm not sure that I am prepared to go through it all but, I doubt someone with hundreds of press mentions hasn't established notability. This seems like a project for someone. I am not saying the page is acceptable but, in my experience a poorly written page is not enough of a reason for deletion if notability can be established. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 22:46, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm afraid you are going to have to be more specific. Hundreds of pages of Google results or even press mentions are not criteria we use. Please see WP:THREE and pull out any 3 independent and significant sources that would support notability. They have to be more than mentions, and they have to be independent of him, his company, or any press releases his company has put out. Thanks, Lamona (talk) 20:44, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
