Basically nothing that I can point to as being even an single in-depth reliable source. There's brief advertorial mention here, and that's pretty much it. Looks a lot like a guy who sells t-shirts at the mall, and wrote a self published book once. G M G talk  16:58, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * delete does not meet WP:GNG, etc. Lacks coverage.--Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 17:36, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Not only does it lack coverage but the user who created the article repeatedly attempted to Vandalize and althrough a report at AIV was declined I think the creator of the article should be blocked as well Abote2 (talk) 20:48, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The edit filter reports say he was trying to use all caps for emphasis. I do not think that indicates vandalism. I do think he is an WP:UPE based on all of this.--Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 22:33, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The plot thickens-- a new(er) editor has started editing the page. --Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 22:36, 26 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete biography of non notable person made up of unreliable sources and useless claim like coining the term “Sleepis4Suckers”. It is A7 material, but since it's being recreated  then better this discussion. –Ammarpad (talk) 03:34, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment. I'm on the fence, but there are discussions of David Shands outside promotional materials. https://rollingout.com/2016/10/26/reaching-back-david-shands-saving-lives-success/ https://hotspotatl.com/3409899/reec-interviews-ceo-of-sleep-is-4-suckers-clothing-line-david-shands/    http://theurbandads.com/fatherhood-stories-david-shands-owner-sleep-is-4-suckers/   https://rollingout.com/2017/02/01/7-black-owned-businesses-watch-2017/  I would have thought that his 'Black Wall Street Tour' would have been notable, but I haven't yet found independent coverage of it. The article needs work. Ross-c (talk) 07:33, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
