Potentially non-notable jeweler who, while undoubtedly successful in his field, does not appear to be independently notable (aside from hosting some jewelry making events, sitting on some boards, and selling some pieces to various celebrities). Article appears to have been initially created by someone with a personal connection to the subject. Much of the article is rather simple business developments (ex. moving into cocktail shakers and jugs in 2011, complaining about rent prices last year, and just.. stating how much some of his items cost?). The page in general reads still reads like an advertisement 11 years after it's creation. A MINOTAUR (talk) 16:38, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: More of a story to tell than the article lets on [1], [2], [3]. Could use a rewrite, but with this, should be notable. Oaktree b (talk) 18:04, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep as this article easily passes WP:GNG as noted above and in the previous AfD nomination. Nominator has not made a valid policy-based deletion argument. The main complaint that the article is poorly written and needs improvement is not grounds for deletion per WP:SURMOUNTABLE. Please also see WP:ATA. If you need help in improving articles, there are many editors who can help provide pointers in the Teahouse, the Guild of Copy Editors, the Article Rescue Squadron, etc., or via the mentor program. Happy editing. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:36, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I randomly found this article today and thought it was interesting. I do note the good sources and that might add to the thought that he is indepndently notable. (sorry, not contribued to a deletion discussion before, but some random clicking let me here, and I was glad to see this page existed! I did have a briefly scan of the deletion primers, and I was thinking along similar lines of Cielquiparle, but I can't make any definite statements on that as I'm not too familiar with those. Other than the fact that perhaps this needs to be ammended rather than deleted.) Retnee (talk) 11:55, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notable person. Lightburst (talk) 19:05, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
