This is the second nomination of this article. Previous AfD resulted in a speedy delete (G-11). I removed the G-4 CSD tags to give the creator the opportunity to fix the article (see the talk page). And it must be admitted that this recreation was subsequently heavily edited to the extent that I do not believe it qualifies for G-11 speedy deletion and therefor also fails to qualify for G-4. That said, the creator has made no viable claim to encyclopedic notability. Currently the subject fails WP:GNG, WP:BASIC and WP:AUTHOR. The sources hugely fails WP:RS, thus the article also fails WP:NRV. A Google failed to yield anything that rings the notability bell. In closing I note that while the hard and obvious spam content has been redacted, it seems quite obvious that this article was intended as an advertisement by a WP:SPA who when asked if he/she had any connection to the subject, went silent. Respectfully urge Delete and salt so we don't have to deal with this again. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:43, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: A WP:SPA-submitted biography. Nothing on Highbeam, but Questia turned up mention of one of his books in a group review in the Arlington Heights Daily Herald (via Questia, subscription required); there is also this interview. But this just amounts to typical coverage of anyone operating in his field (motivational speaker); I see no evidence of encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 05:49, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
