WP:BLP of a writer and entrepreneur, whose only evident claim of notability for either endeavour is that he exists. As written, this is based almost entirely on primary sources -- three of the six "sources" are directories of his writing on the websites of publications he's written for, one is his company's own self-published website about itself, and one is the Amazon.com sales page of his book. But a person gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of the sources, not the bylined author of them -- there's only one source shown here that constitutes a reliable source, but one source is not enough to claim a WP:GNG pass all by itself.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as spam, with copy such as: "...entrepreneur, author, and public speaker. He currently operates Rich20Something.com...". Wikipedia is not a sales prospectus for booking speaking gigs. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:50, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
