Notability Defense

Jikaoli Kol and Afus199620 I believe the subject of this article meets the following WP:ANYBIO notability criteria

The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field.

He, with his co-founders, took a well known company, DoorDash, to a public offering, thus cementing them into the history of American business.

And considering the WP:BASIC criteria I believe he meets the following

"received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject" as demonstrated in teh References section of the article by nationwide, current journalistic sources.

Additionally, as a first-generation Chinese-American, Xu may qualify under WP:IHN.

Thus, I believe the notability template should be removed. Thank you Jikaoli Kol for you kind evaluation of my statement and I welcome your feedback. LassoLaneFolks (talk) 23:39, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Draft

Hello! My name is Abby and I'm here on Wikipedia on behalf of my employer, DoorDash, to share an expanded Tony Xu article for editor review:

• User:AH at DoorDash/Tony Xu

This article includes most of the claims in the current entry, but replaces the Management section (which is more about the company) with more detailed overviews of his early life, career, board service, and investments. Additionally, in the Personal life section, I've removed mention of the name of his daughter (who is a minor, privacy requested) and noted a few well-documented personal interests. I believe all of the claims are neutral, easily verifiable, and sourced appropriately. In the infobox, I've added an image, replaced "United States of America" with "American" and corrected the number of children.

I will avoid editing the article directly, and I'm asking editors to please review the draft and update appropriately. The article is not very long, but I'm willing to tackle section-by-section if that's easier. Also, I'm happy to address any questions or concerns. Thanks for reviewing!

@Afus199620: Thank you for reviewing and updating the Wikipedia entry! I have a question and follow-up request, if you’d be so kind (apologies in advance).

• In the draft shared above, I wanted to correct information about his family, specifically the number of children. However, I'm wondering if mention of his wife and children can actually be removed altogether for safety / security concerns. This is the subject's preference but I am not familiar with Wikipedia's rules about mentioning non-notable family members.
• Having reviewed the live article, Tony Xu says he 1) mowed lawns on his own, 2) delivered pizzas for a very brief period of time and not during his childhood (this was 'research' in the early DoorDash days), and 3) worked with his mother until the age of 16. Since these don't seem like the most important details about what makes him notable, I propose changing the sentence "Xu began working at an early age, washing dishes at the same restaurant where his mother worked, mowing lawns with a friend, and delivering for Domino's Pizza" to "Xu began working at an early age, at times washing dishes at the same restaurant where his mother worked." Does this work for you?

Thanks again for your assistance, and sorry for these follow-up requests!! AH at DoorDash (talk) 22:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

I changed the article according to your suggestions. Unfortunately I can't remove parts about non-notable family members. Such information is common in articles about public persons. But I also don't know all the specific rules about this.--Afus199620 (talk) 20:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Delivery orders through door dash 😡

Hello Mr.Xu my name is Patricia Coto and the reason I am reaching out to you is because I placed an order on DoorDash yesterday at giant eagle for 125 dollars and I was supposed to have it delivered to my residence by 9pm yesterday! It is now the following day after placing the order and I still have not received it. And I have reached out several times see where my order is and they said that they do not have a dasher available yet to pick up the order and they also said that if I cancel the order that I will not be refunded because they have to pay the store and I will just have to be without. Sir I am completely livid right now! My order was 125 dollars and I am a single mother of two and I am on a fixed income and I am also disabled and cannot afford to forfeit 125 dollars because you don’t have any employees to deliver your groceries orders. It is absolutely ridiculous that your company will not issue a refund for my order when I should have received it yesterday!!! I am completely screwed if I don’t receive this order and I have no way of getting the order myself!! I think this is completely unacceptable service and think that I should be given some type of compensation for the inconvenience you have caused my family. The fact that I can not receive a refund for your poor service and lack of reliable workers is not my fault and I should not have to suffer for this! I would like for you to take a good look at your policy and make the necessary steps to resolve issues like this! If you have time to reach back out to me about this issue I would greatly appreciate it! If I don’t hear back from by the end of the day I will be calling the news station to let everyone know how you run your business and that you are basically robbing people who are in need of help. I hope that you do the right thing because this is absolutely WRONG in ever since of the word. You can reach me by email at! I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for your time and concern!!!pc Cotolove (talk) 18:32, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, this is a wikipedia talk page, it's meant for communication between editors about how to improve the article. It is not possible to contact Mr.Xu through this page, I would advise contacting customer support or asking for help on twitter. I wish you luck in finding what you seek.
