Non-notable individual lacking in-depth, non-trivial coverage. Some local coverage, but nothing of substance. More of a resume, vanity article. red dogsix (talk) 15:19, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

According to @hayman30 he stated "Put those(the sources) into the article, not here. Currently, the article relies excessively on sources associated with the subject, lowering its notability." as a reflection towards this article not meeting the Wikipedia standards for being notable. It was my understanding that this article met all required criteria and should remain. I ask of you to keep this page as it does serve a purpose. It is not a resume, or vanity letter. It is an informative article. Thank you and I would please like to ask you to reconsider planning to delete this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Createmyarticle (talk • contribs) 17:22, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment,, from reading the article Whitt appears to have had a reasonable career in the area of finance but has he done anything "of note" ie. won any notable awards, written any notable books, or is cited/referred to by people in the industry? thanks, Coolabahapple (talk) 09:36, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
