Article on a 22 year old "digital marketer" and "entrepreneur". Sources include HuffPost contributor pieces (i.e. blogs), website of subject's own company, and fake black hat SEO sources such as Bigtime Daily, Daily Scanner and Sunrise News. The most legit source here is from his university, which of course has a vested interest in promoting their students, and it's an interview with no substantial analysis so not an independent source anyway. Fails NBIO and GNG. Spicy (talk) 00:24, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete This is clearly a non notable. Devokewater (talk) 09:42, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * delete not an ounce of notability, sources are black hat SEO spam and PR puffery. Also appears to be a TOU violation considering the creators lack of disclosure for paid editing. Praxidicae (talk) 09:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

 * please view independent source found here that was not included, but its only one https://www.toledoblade.com/business/technology/2018/11/24/bowling-green-state-university-student-donovan-greening-marketing-business/stories/20181120114 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3015:3C8F:0:84DD:20CB:BE99:C752 (talk) 21:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Source above is more legitimate, should have been included to begin with rather than the PR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:40F:600:C230:2D7C:BB9:783F:F7A (talk) 05:18, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Obviously not notable. His company isn't notable enough for a page either. Kori das 📣 17:54, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON -- subject to re-creation when there is more substantial coverage in addition to the Toledo Blade article. Starting a business is the classic run of the mill claim of notability. Bearian (talk) 00:37, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
