Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naveen Jain
Naveen Jain has been the founder or prime mover of companies on which Wikipedia has articles, such as InfoSpace and Intelius. (InfoSpace easily passes  as a company traded on NASDAQ). At one point Jain was described as a person with a net worth of over two billion dollars. Jain is still in the news, as http://blog.seattlepi.com/bellevue-pi/archives/217643.asp this August 10 report from the web site of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer indicates. A lot of the press coverage of Naveen Jain has been negative, which you can double-check by looking at the references in our article. At one point there seemed to be a serious effort to 'beautify' the Jain article involving multiple accounts and IPs.  This activity was discussed Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 21#Naveen Jain|at the Conflict of Interest/Noticeboard in January, 2008. One of the IPs trying to remove critical references from the article was shown by Whois to be registered to Naveen Jain himself. I suppose a person who has negative press coverage would like to see it kept out of view, so I was somewhat troubled to see this AfD nomination, and felt nervous that Jain might still be trying to control his own coverage. This is not intended as a criticism of anyone involved in this debate, and Wikipedia is not required to have an article on everyone in the world who the press has not been happy with. Nonetheless, the InfoSpace and Intelius dramas have drawn enough attention and evoked enough press response to formally justify us treating this subject. This is a person who was required by a court to pay a fine of over 100 million dollars!  Please explain to me why that's so minor that WP should not cover it. Of course we need to be as neutral as possible in reflecting what has been reported. It would be reasonable for the article to be expanded to a more complete biography, using the references that have lately been added to the talk page. Those references establish that this expansion could be done by anyone willing to spend the time
