WP:BLP of a newspaper publisher and restaurateur, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for businesspeople. The notability claims here are that he founded some alt-weekly newspapers, a music festival and a pizza restaurant -- but none of those things are instant notability freebies that automatically entitle a person to have a Wikipedia article just because he did stuff, and rather they require a WP:GNG-worthy volume of media coverage about the stuff he did to establish that it's been externally recognized as significant. But the only sources here are a brief namecheck of his existence in a non-notable and unreliable blog and a very short blurb in a specialist trade magazine, which is not enough coverage to get him over the bar. (I also had to strip one further footnote, which failed to mention Atwater or his pizza restaurant at all, and served only to tangentially verify that London has pizza restaurants.) Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have considerably more and deeper coverage than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:46, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
