Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG notability. With a WP:BEFORE, I could not find any reliable sources on him that gave in-depth coverage. The only significant coverage I've found are from non-independent sources, and the article looks like much of the same. (The article also oversells some of the sources out there, such as saying he "generated controversy", citing this interview on NPR.)

Two of the most reliable sources I've found are passing mentions: This Rolling Stones article mentions that a reporter (who previously was a co-worker to, and had a large falling out with, Bill O'Reilly) said that he used the term "The O'Reilly Factor" first. This NYTimes source mentions him in passing, that he was hired as a representative for the Shoup Voting Machine Corporation. Although he might be a somewhat well-known marketer, especially since he's had media appearances, I don't see any sources that shows he passes Wikipedia notability. - Whisperjanes (talk) 02:00, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
