Collin Croome

CSD contested. Article sounds spammy and lists many promotional refs (including self-published Apple Letter of Recommendation). He had some media appearances on social media but fails WP:CREATIVE.  Dewritech (talk)  20:12, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Dewritech, please help us to optimize the article.

As mentioned by Azubi-Deluxe (talk) on 20:27, 7 February 2015 (UTC):

This article should not be deleted for lack of asserted importance or promotional refs because


 * 1) Mr. Croome is a public person and relevant in his industry, where he was one of the first (digital marketing) entrepreneurs more than 24 years ago.
 * 2) He wrote and published several books and audio/video publications.
 * 3) He regularly appears on public TV, in radio-shows and print-media, like magazine and newspapers.
 * 4) He is consulted by public and private media, the German government and businesses for his expertise and opinion.
 * 5) He is a lecturer for the acclaimed Mediadesign Hochschule in Munich, Steinbeis-Hochschule Berlin (HSB) and the University of the German Speakers Association.
 * 6) Since more than 20 years he gives public speeches on digital marketing and new technologies trends.

Why does the article sound "spammy"? The self published Apple letter is an official signed Apple document. Mr. Croome has not "some media appearances in Social Media", but regular presence on public TV and radio.
