The result was redirect to Cleveland Hustles. Consensus leans towards not having a separate article due to notability concerns. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:33, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined a speedy deletion request for this article because it makes a notability claim as a CEO and there are some reliable sources. Bringing it here for wider audience review as (a) the company he is CEO of is small and arguably not notable, and (b) the references are reliable but small-scale (essentially local or regional media). Other views welcome. -- Euryalus (talk) 04:51, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I had nominated it for CSD myself. The personality clearly fails notability claim. - Vivvt (Talk) 06:29, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A few things from a quick search: in some articles it states he is President, while other he is CEO. Not sure if that is relevant. Beyond that, its safe to say its better to improve the article than to delete it as its very clear he is a television personality and on CNBC - and that alone should warrant a Wiki article. I have updated the article from the OP to fix some issues but it may just be better to revise pieces from Career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clevelandhustlesfan23 (talk • contribs) 07:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Merge/~~Redirect to Cleveland Hustles: He does not appear to meet GNG/ANYBIO as his business coverage is thin, and appears to be primarily Ohio-based. Nor does he meet WP:ENTERTAINER, though as a regular participant on a CNBC reality show with a national reach and an angel investor focus, Cleveland Hustles, it could/should include compressed versions of the business history of Arora and any other regulars for whom individual notability cannot be clearly established. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 07:48, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete as the Keep vote is from an SPA and then the Merge vote itself states how he's not actually independently notable. The article itself is noticeably PR-like and only contains sources that are apparently meant to suggest that alone is enough for an article, but it's of course not, because we would have needed actual substance from those sources and information for an acceptable article, SwisterTwister talk 07:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's WP:BEFORE#C4 verbatim: "If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term."

Is the topic a likely search term for someone watching Cleveland Hustles? Yes (although the show's viewership is not great, and declining). Does Arora need to be independently notable (to the level of GNG) to be merged? No. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 02:44, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

... and I have gone ahead and added cast info to the article, with Arora's info briefly folded in. Redirection is now appropriate. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 03:56, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
