WP:BLP, created in draftspace and then moved within days to mainspace without a proper WP:AFC review, about a person whose claims of notability are not properly referenced. Of the nine footnotes here, five are to his own primary source "staff" profiles on the websites of his own employers or organizations with which he's been directly affiliated; one more is a piece of his own writing; two are glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage that isn't about him; and literally the only one that's actually both about him and independent of him is on a blog. Which means that exactly none of these are notability-supporting reliable source coverage about him in real media for the purposes of getting a person into Wikipedia, and nothing claimed in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced to notability-supporting reliable source coverage about him in real media.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: TNT or Draftify?
 * Draftify TNT or send back to AFC or even Delete . He's definitely notable, but the page is nauseating in terms of its self promotion. There are many good sources in Google news. I deleted a chunk of self-promotion. If sent back to AFC, it should have a big sign on it that says "REDUCE PUFFERY".104.163.148.25 (talk) 07:31, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Draftify per above IP comment also per the nom. MapSGV (talk) 07:34, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, TheSandDoctor (talk) 01:59, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Draftify as there is clear notability, but the sourcing needs to be done better.--Theredproject (talk) 05:07, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
