Apparent COI/PAID vanity page created to avoid the previous deleted article about the same subject Douglas W. Clayton (afd-deleted). Article doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG, contains brief third party mentions, with significant coverage only related to his firm, Leopard Capital and is highly promotional in content. The creator of this article has been blocked indefinitely for Promotional editing, undisclosed paid editing was also involved in the creation of a series of paid articles related to this firm including Kingdom Breweries (afd-deleted), Nautisco Seafood (afd-deleted), CamGSM (afd-no consensus).

 * Delete it looks like he's mainly notable for being CEO of Leopard Capital. Any other information is either uncited, based on passing mentions or unreliable sources, or wouldn't help him meet notability guidelines (like the fact that he's contributed op-eds to publications).

 * Delete Seems like a resumé written in a non-neutral tone.

 * Delete because of notability and WP:TNT issues and redirect to Leopard Capital. ~Kvng (talk) 23:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Soft delete or merge to Leopard Capital NYT piece has a lot about him. Article is non-neutral though. TLA  (talk) 02:54, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Leopard Capital. Everything properly sourced is better in that article and unsourced personal details are not needed.  I don't really see the need to delete prior to redirecting, but meh.  Eluchil404 (talk) 01:58, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
