Essay-like biography, with dubious sources. Reads like half resume, half advertisement. Notability per WP:ANYBIO is questionable. bender235 (talk) 19:15, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - This person is a businessman, inventor, and author, who has published the book Flying the Stock Market Pilot Your Dollars to Success. I don't see many independent secondary sources discussing him, though I do see 1 or 2 reviews of his book.  The article itself is full of puffery and violates the WP:NOTPROMOTION policy, but that alone is not a reason to delete it.  The lack of secondary sources that discuss him means he does not meet the notability requirements of Notability (people). --Noleander (talk) 16:27, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
