Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Delaney (businessman)
First of all, the fact that the article is currently very short, is no reason for deletion. There's enough information available to expand it. Re his notability (the ''only'' criterion that should be used in this discussion), Delaney was the founder and CEO of a notable company https://www.google.co.uk/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=Intrade+Delaney&btnG=#q=Intrade+Delaney&hl=en&tbm=nws&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=_lgFULKpCKjL0QX9xKnfBw&ved=0CCUQpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=dd3cf9460c241e00&biw=1680&bih=938 and was notable himself even before his death. See http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/dublin-firm-sees-12m-us-election-bets-150712.html this article from 2004 in ''The Irish Independent'' and http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/08/08/8267667/index.htm this 2005 article in ''Fortune Magazine''..  He's been interviewed on CNBC http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OKMqwbkIwy8C&pg=PA267&dq=Intrade+Delaney&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9FcFUJnMOoPR0QXl2ZzhBw&ved=0CDgQ6AEwAQ#v=snippet&q=Intrade&f=false. He and his company are discussed in the book http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=CdxbcOowQG4C&pg=PA225&dq=Intrade+Delaney&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9FcFUJnMOoPR0QXl2ZzhBw&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Intrade%20Delaney&f=false ''Oracles: How Prediction Markets Turn Employees Into Visionaries'' (Harvard Business Press). His death was covered not only by the ''New York Times'', but by the ''Daily Mail'' in the UK and, of course the main Irish newspapers. Incidentally, the ''New York Times'' piece, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/27/business/27delaney.html?ref=deathsobituaries "John Delaney, Founder of Intrade, Dies at 42", is not an example of . It was a lengthy article with a by-line in the Business section, not the Obituary section
