This subject fails WP:GNG because there is zero coverage in reliable sources that is substantially about him, let alone to a degree that would lend to a encyclopedic biography. A few passing mentions generally cover another topic entirely, and when this person is quoted, it's always about something else, which isn't significant coverage of this person. While passing mention in a few moderately reliable sources is probably enough to garner a mention in related articles (i.e., companies that might actually pass WP:CORPDEPTH, and where due weight permits), a stand-alone biography is unmerited. Otherwise, his accomplishments fall short of WP:ANYBIO for lack of significant impact as demonstrated by any reliable source; it's hard to see what claims, even those made by press releases and self-publications, are actually significant. Note several of the cites currently in the article don't even mention the subject. JFHJr (㊟) 14:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to HighBAR Ventures. I've looked around and I agree with the nom that all there's available online are passing mentions or quotes that don't indicate notability of the subject, but his name comes up associated with HighBAR a lot so a redirect seems in order — Frankie (talk) 18:46, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to HighBAR Ventures, per WP:BASIC, with no disrespect to Thiele-Sardiña's achievements. The coverage related to HighBAR in reliable sources would classify the subject under WP:BIO1E, except he's also been involved in other aspects (which haven't been noted in RSs). -- Trevj (talk) 11:50, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — Given that virtually nothing links to this article, what would the utility be in redirecting? This name is a rather implausible, useless redirect I think. He's not even borderline notable. That said, consensus may indicate redirecting is the best result in this case. JFHJr (㊟) 20:50, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects serve not only for internal links but also to assist the search facility, so that readers arrive directly to an article instead of the search results page. I might agree that it would implausible if it had a dab term like (software engineer), but it's just the subject's name, and being somewhat of a public figure it is not unreasonable to imagine that someone might come to WP looking for information on them — Frankie (talk) 21:29, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
