not independently notable, i tried to redirect to the company article as all the sources are about the company and notability is not inherited. So suggesting a delete and then redirect. Praxidicae (talk) 16:00, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

- I would say this nomination has no merit. The subject is not notable for his company only, he also founded Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum and Hemp Museum Gallery as well so I do not see a point why his page should be redirected to his company Sensi Seeds? As for notability, the subject has been covered widely in several independent newspapers, magazines and books such as [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] and many more!

- see WP:NOTINHERITED also revenge noms look real bad. Just an FYI. Praxidicae (talk) 21:04, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yes I have seen WP:NOTINHERITED and it does not apply here. FYI, you have been stalking my contributions. Beritagsier (talk) 21:10, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- nominations should be about the content, not contributor, so I'll expect you can provide diffs to substantiate that, Beritagsier? Praxidicae (talk) 21:11, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to Sensi Seeds seems to make sense, although I guess that is what started all this. Article creator now blocked.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:05, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep because this subject meets WP:GNG. [8] and [9] provide significant, reliable, independent coverage of Ben Dronkers, and do not but his companies front and center. Mottezen (talk) 08:16, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- That second link is for a site called cannabus.de. That does not sound like an independent reliable source.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:00, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ok yea. But look at this book though [10]. Dronkers is profiled in it, and he is portrayed as very important in the field of Cannabis seeds. Mottezen (talk) 19:04, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Meh. It's something, but it's more about the store than it is about him. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:41, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep The subject of the article attained notability through the importance and grandeur of his company. Furthermore, the article passed WP:BASIC. Also, the search with the Russian keywords "Бен Дронкерс" and "Дронкерс, Бен" brought up a good amount of news articles that cover the subject in detail. Israell (talk) 08:27, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete or redirect to "Sensi Seeds": paid-for spam with no significant coverage in reliable sources. GSS 💬 16:36, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- This is neither paid nor spam and the claim that it has no significant coverage is ridiculous. Have you done WP:BEFORE? I see you are obsessed with paid-editing but please stop random guessing. Not everyone is a paid editor.Beritagsier (talk) 21:56, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- I done a very well research on both the notability and paid editing and I have convincing evidence to support my claim. GSS 💬 03:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep the article. The subject easily pass GNG. There are ample in-depth coverage about this person in several English and non-English sources. Also, there is no valid rationale to redirect it to sensi seeds because as I mentioned earlier the person has founded Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum and Hemp Museum Gallery too and I find no valid reason to redirect it to Sensi Seeds.

- Keep and wikify.The search with the Russian keywords brought up a good amount of news articles, that are covering the subject and its activities in detail. Here are a few of them.
