Frankly, this may have been a candidate for BLP-PROD but in deference to the very old age of the page I'll run as an AFD. There's no credible evidence of the subject's notability and appears to fail WP:GNG pretty clearly. Zero real cites on the page and Google News turns up zero credible independent sources about the subject (rather than quotes from the subject and mentions in passing). Given the page's age I'd love to be wrong, but I'm not seeing it. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 06:49, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • DeleteWeak keep. No significant coverage found this is independent of his companies, although he gets quite a few mentions in the context of those companies. --Michig (talk) 07:42, 14 January 2019 (UTC) Changed to weak keep in light of the sources identified below. I'm not totally convinced yet, but am erring on the side of keeping. --Michig (talk) 20:18, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, what is needed is significant accomplishment and WP:SIGCOV - which need not be a profile. SIGCOV in sentences and paragraphs can suffice.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:06, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete does not meet WP:ANYBIO; significant RS coverage not found. Sources offered above are passing mentions and / or WP:SPIP. For example, the WaPo piece is a pitch from Boger:
With advances in technology and mass-produced, high-quality displays now much more affordable because of the proliferation of smart phones, Boger saw new opportunities for Sensics.
"We are exploring new applications in the gaming industry. We partnered with a company called Razer, a global leader in products for gamers, to create virtual reality headsets."
Etc. Just a promotional CV. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:27, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete I don't see the significant independent coverage I believe is needed to meet the GNG. I'm seeing passing mentions and some interviews of him promoting his company's products, but that's what I expect from any company's chief marketing officer.Sandals1 (talk) 15:25, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:Sandals1 is an editor with a highly unusual editing record, and a talk page dominated by sockpuppet investigations. I have not looked beyond the talk page, Sandals1's talk page. But it is odd to have 2 editors with such unusual editing records show up at an obscure AfD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:49, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is unusual to be accused of being a sockpuppet twice after only 5 edits, but nothing came of either of those unjustified allegations (both from the same editor).Sandals1 (talk) 00:16, 27 January 2019 (UTC) Looks like a duck to me[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:GNG. No WP:SIGCOV. The articles I read either talked about his company and mentioned him in relation to that company or talked to him about his company. Aurornisxui (talk) 23:59, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I do not see the significant independent coverage of him that I believe is needed to show he meets WP:GNG. He appears in the press in his role of marketing his company's products, but that's not about him. According to the Haaretz article both of the companies he founded went out of business. The claim that he was a founder of Oblicore (which I found in one article) is not supported by any documentation I can find. In fact, it is contradicted by both Bloomberg and Network World.[1] As marketing chief it's not surprising he's interviewed, but it's in line with his job and not because he's individually notable. The phrase "serial entrepreneur" is present in several articles in both English and Hebrew because I suspect that's part of his pitch (it's an odd phrase for a variety of reporters from different media and countries to all use).
