 * Keep, a notable individual with some significant contributions to MSP and a founder of notable institute. There is a lot of significant coverage in MSP publications and has been recognized for his contributions. Some sources I found:, , . Modafferi (talk) 08:46, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak delete Weak because it would be easy to change my mind, just show me that both his books have been independently reviewed a few times, which would be the standard way to show an author was notable CT55555 (talk) 13:06, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * And also a comment MSP as a suffix means "Member of Scottish Parliament" I recognize that to audiences outside the UK this is probably not widely known, but I think MSP as it is intended here is also not widely known. I would suggest "(author)" would be a more normal disambiguation title, should this stay. CT55555 (talk) 13:06, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources given by Modafferi don't provide significant coverage: for instance, one is a top 20 of "bright minds in the SMB channel", with a very short paragraph per person. I can't find any independent reviews for the books. Femke (talk) 20:36, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep coverage exists. I found a number of books mentioning him/his work on Google Books and coverage, , , . Significant coverage is relative and in the field MSP the already listed coverage is enough to pass WP:GNG. 67.168.136.107 (talk) 21:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I question whether these sources count towards notability- the first one is merely a name in a list and the others are interviews. MrsSnoozyTurtle 21:23, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
