I've been absent from en.Wikipedia for a long time, so I'm more than happy to be found wrong with this nomination, but after stumbling upon it browsing, I thought it seemed tremendously non-notable and basically just a puff piece. There don't seem to be any Reliable Sources for the article, and I don't think being a Member of the Youth Parliament qualifies someone on its own, especially with BLP concerns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skinny87 (talk • contribs) 14:13, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Strong delete an overly promotional article on a non-notable journalist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:34, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article has a very definite advertorial tint, and nothing in it represents a proper notability claim for the purposes of getting a Wikipedia article. Serving in a youth parliament is not an WP:NPOL pass, existing as a journalist is not an automatic WP:JOURNALIST pass, and starting his own small air charter company is not an automatic pass over our notability standards for businesspeople. And the sourcing here is for the birds, comprising a mix of primary sources (his own LinkedIn, tweets, YouTube videos, etc.), coverage of other things or people in which he's the bylined author and not the subject (which are not sources that support the notability of a journalist), coverage of other things or people which merely namechecks his existence and is not about him (not notability-assisting sources either), and purely local coverage which is about him but is being given in the context of nothing that passes a notability criterion at all (e.g. suing a traffic cop over a parking ticket, starting a vigilante operation to catch somebody who stole his laptop.) Exactly none of this represents a valid reason why he would qualify a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 16:21, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete obvious self-promotion by a non-notable person. --RevivesDarks (talk) 17:05, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
