I have serious doubts that he is notable. All the sources of him seem to be passing mentions, with the focus not on him but on his company. I'd suggest rewriting this article as one about the company, which seemed to have received some more serious coverage, and has a shot at passing WP:NCOMPANY much better than he has of passing WP:BIO. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here09:09, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: I'm not going to fight to the death, but I happen to disagree. But first let's take a look at WP:GNG. The only problem we might have is whether coverage of Lapp as a businessman is "significant", which is a pretty vague term. To me being interviewed by some of the most respected journals in the country (Wprost back in the days when it was a decent journal, Businessman Magazine, Puls Biznesu, Gazeta Wyborcza, Forbes are all reliable, secondary sources, independent of the subject) pretty much means that the person is notable enough. And I disagree with you characterising the sources I used in the article as "passing mentions". The Dziennik Bałtycki piece is pretty much a biographical article on him.
Secondly, of course he is mentioned in conjunction with the company he founded and is leading. Steve Jobs was also being mentioned mostly in connection with Apple, it's pretty much obvious, isn't it. Similarly, politicians are often mentioned as presidents or ministers, with the focus on the role they play, not their private lives. Which doesn't mean businessmen or politicians are non-notable just because they are best known for this or that. Sure, there is no detailed, 300-page long biography written by a respected scholar and published by Oxford University Press. It's not the same level of notability as Steve Jobs, but still. //Halibutt23:39, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
