Milan Kordestani

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Kordestani is not at all notable as a CEO (his "Milan Farms" appears to be a hobby operation selling very limited quantities), nor as a writer (can't just about anyone get a HuffPo byline?). He might eventually be marginally notable as an equestrian, but to date his competitions appear to be at the junior level. Because of his parents' money, he gets to ride some impressive mounts, but I think the coverage he receives are as much about the horse than the rider.

Delete - Not enough in-depth coverage to show that they pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:04, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:GNG with varying references from unbiased magazines publishing news about his successes as an equestrian. Also, definitely meets WP:ANYBIO given he holds world and state titles. To become a Huffington Post writer also requires approval from Arianna Huffington and an extensive application making a writer such as himself, accomplished. Also, his articles have been promoted by the site and in other countries, making them more notable. His achievements as a CEO are notable because he made strides in the agriculture industry and conducted research in this industry at a very young age, making him notable.PeakTime (talk) 23:43, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. To address concerns, I have found articles, and sources conveying the achievements of Kordestani as an equestrian. He holds major titles which in the American Saddlebred industry are highly regarded. Additionally, I have found information about Milan Farms and have cited and added information to his research in the sector of hydroponics. Initially the company seems to be small time, but when you do research into it, the company isn't small, but rather it connects small farms together. The company doesn't own multiple farms but rather focuses on the connection of small farmers to empower them. That may be why it gives the appearence of being small.PeakTime (talk) 00:23, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Everything seems in order and well referenced. He doesn't seem significant in my world but if he's ranked even in the top 5 in any industry and is also an up and coming CEO, I think he deserves an article. Also, there are references which means that WP:GNG is not broken and since he's been on the cover of magazines for WP:ANYBIO recognizing his significance, I think he's someone worth keeping on the page.HeadCount (talk) 00:40, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
