Promotional article for an apparently non-notable businessperson. This article is built almost entirely on WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS (or in some cases non-mentions) in coverage of his client/business partner Julian Edelman ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]). Other sources are coverage of Swissa's business that doesn't mention him ([12], [13], [14], [15]); WP:PRIMARYSOURCE Q&A interviews ([16], [17]); and student media from Swissa's alma mater and thus not independent ([18], [19]). My WP:BEFORE search turns up more of the same. I count only one article from the Boston Globe that gets close to independent WP:SIGCOV of Swissa, and we'd need to see more. I see no evidence of passing WP:NAUTHOR or any other applicable guidelines either. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep and improve, or at least move to draft. I see coverage of Swissa in some other notable publications and Superdigital is quite well known. --FeldBum (talk) 23:21, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
- Can you share the WP:THREE best sources you think constitute independent WP:SIGCOV? Notability cannot be WP:INHERITED from Superdigital. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:19, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 14:05, 4 June 2025 (UTC)- Withdrawn, speedy keep in light of marginally suitable sources. (The Boston Magazine piece is an as-told-to so wouldn't count.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:24, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
