 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to be a largely promotional article on a non-notable BLP subject, full of WP:PEACOCK phraseology and padding with references which are really external links for the most part. Apart from one interview and one tangential mention on Who's Who, the assertion of notability isn't proven by available sources out of those that meet WP:RS.

 * I'm forced to agree. This is full of PR links. Delete. DS (talk) 18:34, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources. Much of the sourcing in the article consists of press releases, or him being quoted.  In some cases, he isn't mentioned at all.  In looking for sources, I also came across this article which claims he is a swindler.  The article reads like an autobography, and I suspect that it is.  It is at least in part copied from the "About" blurb in his book: see . -- Whpq (talk) 18:59, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
