Dependent on non-independent sources. Included sources are his own author profile of HuffingtonPost or his blog posts. Amazon is a commercial site, Goodreads is a social catalog. The article is spammy, full of external links (Amazon and Facebook links) on the body. Possible COI. Mar11 (talk) 05:53, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt. Just because Kindle has made it so everyone can publish their research papers, even when there is no clear reason to believe they have the background to actually do indepth research on a particular subject, does not mean we need articles on everyone who has published a research paper on kindle. I am tempted to say some of my blog posts have involved more research and gotten more replies than some of this guys work.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:01, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - was covered in The Independent Bangladesh. Also, the guy is a scholar of communication from Monash university Malaysia, So he does have the proper background for communication research. Also, he's been writing for Business Insider as well. However agree about links to Facebook. That bit should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.24.122.43 (talk) 03:38, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
