 * Weak keep While not a fan of new economy gurus, I have to say that several of the refs in the article indicate that he is notable in his field. The article itself needs NPOV work (not least to weed out all the "prestigious" and "bestselling" stuff) but that's for normal editing. AllyD (talk) 20:24, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The article's text as it currently stands is almost identical to the biography on Dan's personal page http://danschawbel.com/ and Facebook page, typos and all. Looks like spam to me. Could be kept if rewritten. Eater
 * Delete Probably notable enough but I see no other option than burning the whole thing and starting over. This could easily be deleted as spam or as a copyright violation of http://danschawbel.com/. Add to those issues the blatant COI and I don't think it makes sense to use the current article as a basis. Pichpich (talk) 20:57, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
