Advertorially-slanted WP:BLP of a sportsman and television host, referenced entirely to his own primary source content about himself with no evidence of reliable source coverage about him shown at all. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their own websites verify that they exist -- the notability test for inclusion in Wikipedia hinges on whether media can be shown to have done journalism about him, not on what he publishes about himself.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * delete My search for sources didn't give me anything to show he meets the GNG. The fact that he has a TV show would indicate some notability and I would change my vote if someone could show me some significant independent coverage.Sandals1 (talk) 14:31, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
