Non-notable businessman. Previously deleted at AfD, but with completely different content so this needs to be reevaluated. – bradv  🍁  16:25, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * delete This is nothing more than free (or rather, I assume paid for but hosted for free here) PR about a guy who doesn't have a lick of actual independent, in depth coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 16:26, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete pure puffery, no matter who wrote it. I'd support a speedy G11.  DGG ( talk ) 23:26, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. I couldn't find any credible source that doesn't look like a press release. – SD0001  (talk) 21:40, 4 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Definitely meets WP:NBIO. There are enough referenced, reputable external resources. The subject has been interviewed by Fortune, Forbes, Inc, Entrepreneur, News Herald, was a featured guest on Fox Business news a few times and so on. He raised $3 million to his first venture, and $26 million to the following ones, having in-depth articles about him and his companies. As always, there is room for improvement, but at the moment, I think deletion is unjustified. The article can be cleaned up a bit more instead.--38.130.110.27 (talk) 09:51, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete To the person that posted the above Keep: Interviews are not considered good sources as they are first hand, unless the interview has some bio from the writer. Plus is there a reason you just randomly decided to vote on this from an IP rather than having a legit account? I suspect COI. Expertwikiguy (talk) 01:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Agree with Lightburst user, this is a PR article created by the subject. They are not notable.  Speedy G11!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:F6C0:EE0:E549:DE8A:61C0:22FE (talk) 02:45, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
