Non-notable entrepreneur who's "legacy" is a double cup that has received almost no coverage aside from the two links here and certainly nothing lasting. The creator and subject of the article has even less coverage, with only a few mentions in the Forbes piece and all other hits are unrelated to this Cal Marshall.

Delete not notable. A strange cup design is not earth changing or even unique as I've seen something like that years ago. Legacypac (talk) 17:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Does not meet WP:BIO. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:49, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Insufficient sources to support passage of WP:ANYBIO. Just not much to go on here. Ok, he invented a plastic cup. Maybe the cup might be notable, but I doubt it. There's plenty of plastic cups that have been invented. But the inventor? There's just not much to go on here. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:15, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
