Non-notable business person, not meeting notability standards, with more sourcing about the inventions than the individual. Oaktree b (talk) 14:46, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Dave Yonce co-started a SolarWinds, a multi-billion dollar company. He's been on Shark Tank. He had his own show on the Discovery Channel, America Made Inventor. The only reason the show is over is because Discovery wanted drama. Dave likes Peace ☮️. Certainly is notable businessman & celebrity entrepreneur inventor. Quite an interesting guy as well.Firnanda.Reena (talk) 14:53, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

- We need sourcing to discuss these, that's the issue. Can you share some reliable sources to confirm this? Mentions in newspapers or stories about him? Oaktree b (talk) 17:51, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- There is a Forbes sources there that goes in depth Firnanda.Reena (talk) 19:14, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

- Comment notable or not, the article needs to be rewritten because it's very close to a speedy deletion candidate as advertisement. The tone is completely inappropriate. Pichpich (talk) 19:33, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

- Weak Keep. It could be argued that the subject, Dave Yonce, passes WP:GNG as there are at least some reliable sources that discuss him.[1] However, there is not an abundance of such citations that provide in-depth coverage; most discuss the companies he is associated with. Knox490 (talk) 13:10, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep.
WP:GNG with now that is has the patent references and citations. Starlighsky (talk) 22:30, 6 July 2023
- Comment those do not count towards passing GNG. ArcAngel (talk) 21:47, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to SolarWinds#History. The article is bad to the point of deletion per WP:TNT; the original was promotional and Starlighsky's changes were not improvements. Walt Yoder (talk) 21:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Patent references and citations are helpful references. I just want to add that to encourage Wikipedians to look at the published references in intellectual property: Copyrights, Patents, and so on.
- I saw the article on the delete list and was just trying to help. Starlighsky (talk) 22:32, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to SolarWinds#History. He co-founded the company in 1999, then left in 2007 before it IPOed, per SEC documents. The one article in 2015 was due to the value of the equity he presumably still had in Solar Winds, hardly WP:SIGCOV due to his notability. Hard to find WP:RS to justify notability.
