Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ronn Torossian (2nd nomination)
This is an individual who has been profiled at length in ''The New York Times'' and ''Business Week'' -- among many other publications -- in articles that cover Torossian individually and in gory detail. Without any doubt whatsoever he meets  and any other standard of notability one could ever conjure. The first AfD for Torossian was a rather bizarre affair, with an AfD created by an apparent sockpuppet and a number of participants, virulently opposed to Torossian, who advocated for deletion and have had no other involvement in Wikipedia other than related to that AfD. I'm not sure what happened to this article in the past year or so, but the current article is little more than a stub. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ronn_Torossian&oldid=173434578 This version from the close of the first AfD in November 2007 provides a much more comprehensive biography, supported by reliable and verifiable sources. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ronn_Torossian&oldid=225783677 This version from mid-July 2008 represents the peak in size for the article, and there is plenty of worthwhile material that has just been hacked out and no longer appears in the current version. I'm not sure why the Torossian article has been targeted for deletion, either before or this go around, but there can be no possible doubt that he is notable
