Removed sourcing
I'm reposting this from the WP:REFUND request section. It explains why I removed some of the sourcing in the article.

Looking at the sources in the article, it looks like this one is not a reliable source (looks to be a WP:SPS tabloid type blog) and these two links are the same source. Stuff like this is seen as one source regardless of where else it might be posted, so an article can be reposted in as many as 5-10 different places but would still be seen as one news article source. I've removed the blog source and the redundant link. The other four sources are good, but it looks like they predominantly focus on his legal issues. This is sort of a tricky area per WP:NCRIME so in order to show notability as far as this end goes you'd have to provide a lot of coverage. It looks like he was convicted in one case, so coverage for that crime would show notability, whereas the charges that were settled would likely not. Per WP:BLP, we can really only use coverage for crimes to establish notability if he's convicted or if long term coverage indicates that the charges were particularly landmark. The designation from Entrepreneur is good, but it's not really enough with the current coverage to give the article a really firm keep and if it was brought to AfD there's a chance it might be deleted, particularly since he's really only known for his drug related legal problems as far as the article goes. The best thing is to find additional coverage and add it to the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:13, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
