Relies solely on one primary reference, does not pass WP:GNG - company which apparently makes him notable does not have a Wikipedia article. -- samtar ^whisper 13:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rich Piana is really a famous bodybuilding personality but I can't find any sources (besides the one I already added) to prove that. 64.134.64.190 (talk) 00:06, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Best material I could find is a decent-quality blog post that's better than what's currently in the article. Still not enough to meet notability standards IMHO, but he seems "famous" enough in bodybuilding circles that you'd think there'd be more out there on him. Perfectly willing to change my !vote if someone finds better sources. --Finngall ^talk 18:49, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

His Youtube channel has around 600,000 subscribers. Probably proof that he's noteworthy: https://www.youtube.com/user/1DAYUMAY. I think the article should stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.159.167 (talk • contribs) 11:28, 24 January 2016‎
