All the references listed are about businesses and organizations that they were apart of and not about the person themselves and I can't find any other coverage about them. Does not pass WP:NBUSINESSPERSON or WP:ANYBIO. Propose to redirect to Newsweek. cyberdog958^Talk 23:58, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The reference Meet The Mysterious Duo Who Just Bought Newsweek is a profile of Davis, as is Faith and a media icon: Newsweek's unconventional new owners (which is characterized here as "a lengthy profile of IBT founder Johnathan Davis". --The Cunctator (talk) 13:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I don’t think I would consider this source a profile of Davis as it’s more about his business partners along with most of the other references on the page. The second source is more promising but I don’t think that one source is enough to satisfy WP:SIGCOV. cyberdog958^Talk 19:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Significant coverage "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Seems pretty cut-and-dried to me. But if we want to change the goalposts, go forth. --The Cunctator (talk) 13:52, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Newsweek, and add in there anything that seems vital. I don't see enough independent sources for GNG and I don't think we can rely primarily on Newsweek itself as a source. If, in the future, there is more written about him then an article would make sense. Lamona (talk) 05:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Newsweek, and possibly a selective merge. There’s just not enough coverage in sources independent of him, about him, except for a couple of stories about lawsuits he’s been involved with. Bearian (talk) 01:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
