~~Weak delete~~ Redirect to Plaxo - He certainly gets mentioned in a number of articles (e.g. Forbes, Bloomberg, Business Insider, and other smaller sites), but always in passing as "Cameron Ring, co-founder of -insert companies-". I'm not convinced there's enough here to pass WP:GNG or perhaps more importantly, to maintain an article about him. Maybe someone else can find better sources?

Weak Delete - He is indeed mentioned quite a bit - Plaxo and aftermath (including a person who claimed to be a co-founder and murdered someone - who Plaxo (Cameron included) claimed was not a co-founder). But I don't see an in-depth piece about him - it is all him and his co-founder together, and in relation to whatever enterprise they are doing at the moment. A good source or two would convince me to change my vote.Icewhiz (talk) 07:15, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ajpolino and Icewhiz: it seems to me that this is a likely enough search term that it shouldn't be a redlink. Any suggestions for a good redirect target for this one? VQuakr (talk) 00:42, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@VQuakr: The companies he co-founded have quite a bit of coverage. It seems like he's currently involved in Honor, Inc., so I'd vote for that? Alternatively, he might be best associated with Plaxo, so that might be another good ___location. Thoughts? Ajpolino (talk) 01:40, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plaxo is the more significant at the moment. Honor might be borderline for GNG.Icewhiz (talk) 04:16, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Plaxo. This seems the best option discussed so far; I agree with the other !voters that there doesn't seem to be enough sourcing available at this time to form the basis of an article. VQuakr (talk) 06:15, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin - if you can include a trout for the nominator in your official close summary, it'll make my week. VQuakr (talk) 06:15, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
