WP:BLP of a blogger and podcaster, with no strong reliable sourcing to support it. Almost everything here is a primary source or a commercial sales page for his products, and the only one that's actual media is a blurb's worth of coverage in People — which isn't a good or substantive enough source to get a person into Wikipedia if it's the best source on offer. There's also been sourcing stripped from the article, on the order of his own self-published blog, Hulu and circular referencing to other Wikipedia articles — none of which are valid sourcing, so restoring them won't help. He might qualify for a properly sourced article, but that doesn't mean he gets to keep this. Delete.
