I started to trim the promotional content, but soon realised that there would be little or nothing left. Not seeing how this passes WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 21:52, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. No pass of WP:Prof. Nothing here but vapid LinkedIn stuff. Salt to stop more time-wasting recreations. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:28, 3 September 2020 (UTC).
 * Delete. Supported by lots of promotional churnalism, with no real independent sourcing and notability evident. Appears to have been written to support his speaking business. Plausible WP:CSD speedy, on that basis. Certainly WP:PROF is far out of reach. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:40, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Some promotional sentences were removed with their heading — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abbas Kwarbai (talk • contribs)


 * Delete If the first thing you say when describing yourself is "keynote speaker", you're not notable. Wikipedia is not LinkedIn. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 02:22, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * DeletePretty thin coverage here, mostly referencing his own work and non notable titles. Deathlibrarian (talk) 14:09, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete another in a very long line of overly promotional articles on businessmen.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:26, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete He's certainly published some things and headed a company, but I'm not seeing may citations or sufficient independant coverage. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:07, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV, WP:NOTRESUME, and WP:PROF. I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources. Ten years ago, an academic could laugh this off, but in 2020, everybody who can read knows we are not a LinkedIn type of free service. Bearian (talk) 19:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
