Advert by likely UPE; fails WP:BIO. Only a single source ([1]) is more than a passing mention, and this is insufficient. Jfire (talk) 00:19, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jfire It wasn't UPE, but am happy to take notes if improvements should be made in the future. I felt based on his colleague Michael Green (agent) this page was an improvement, sorry if not the case somehow. Stravensky (talk) 00:51, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article reads like a professional profile and is basically promotional, even if accidentally so. This happens a lot with articles on businesspeople, because most the information out there is structured as such. To write an article that will be kept, find some secondary sources that provide an independent look at this person, and summarize the secondary coverage in those sources. It might not be possible, a lot of businesspeople relentlessly self-promote, but don't get much independent coverage, and we can't build an encyclopedia article around that self-promotion. —siroχo 03:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would also suggest engaging with editors in the discussion at the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard you were notified about on your talk page. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:32, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Out of the 22 references on the page, this is the only one that comes close to showing notability. The rest are one liners, quotes, and some don't even mention the subject. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:42, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Delete The article has no real sourcing in the first two references blocks. They are passing mentions often in something or someones else's context. The article is terrible as well. It is a brochure article. scope_creep^Talk 06:42, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom lacks indepth coverage fails WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 21:51, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
