Advertorially tinged WP:BLP of a financial journalist, referenced virtually entirely to primary sources (book sourced to Amazon, etc.) with no evidence of reliable source coverage about him shown at all. The only non-primary source here, in fact, is a brief quote from his writing in an article about something else, thus falling in the "glancing namecheck of his existence" class of sourcing that doesn't assist passage of WP:GNG at all. And not surprisingly, the article has been edited by the subject himself in defiance of WP:COI. Nothing here is a strong enough pass of our inclusion standards for journalists to earn him a presumption of notability in the absence of a much better quality of sourcing than this.

Delete: The 1983 quotation in the brief Slate blog item and various brief mentions verify the subject as a longstanding working journalist. One online interview does describe the subject as "one of Canada’s most renowned financial authors" [1] and he has authored or co-authored various handbooks, but I don't see enough coverage about the subject to demonstrate encyclopaedic notability via WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG.
