All promotional articles and press releases have been scrap, including Hindustan Times and other unreliable sources.

 * Keep This author is a very popular relationship coach and motivational speaker in the states. He has written over 5 books, been seen on ABC News, Good morning America, and News 12. This notable author has over 300,000 followers on Facebook and over 185,000 on Instagram. He may need more press and reliable sources, but his presence is notable and momentous.

 * Delete I was reviewing this at the same time as Prax (edit conflicted to raise the deletion discussion), and came to the same conclusion. The subject's books are all self-published, the secondary sources referenced in the article are all fake news sites, and there's no depth of coverage in reliable secondary sources - fails WP:NAUTHOR, WP:GNG.

 * Just to reiterate: despite what the newly-registered accounts above say, the fake news sites have not all been removed from the article - LondonDailyPost and California Heralt, for example, are classic examples of black hat SEO sites. Whatever 'Emergepreneur' is, it's not a reliable source. The Forbes article, which is listed twice in the refs, is a snippet that the subject wrote himself as a contributor to a 'Forbes council'. His 'over 5 books' are self-published, and unreviewed by RS as far as I can find. Girth Summit  (blether)  15:20, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article sources are either press releases or simply unreliable sources. Hindustan Times clearly states that at the bottom of the article. — Infogapp1 (talk) 12:08, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Per nom, PR Devokewater @  10:25, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comments: I'm trying to rescue this by stubifying it. I removed two sections of unsourced material. I could not verify that he spoke at SUNY New Paltz, my alma mater (I read all the emails and communication that I get from the alumni office, and have never heard of him). If I can't fix it, so be it. Bearian (talk) 03:23, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep of what's left as a stub. I have been able to verify he does have a lot of followers on Facebook (316k) and Twitter (24.5k), but I removed those as citations. Bearian (talk) 03:31, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete undisclosed paid-for spam. No significant coverage in reliable sources. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 03:48, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: based on what’s been said above about black hat SEO (fake news sites especially) this isn’t just fit for WP:TNT, but salting as well to ensure proper review if it ever comes back ☆ Bri (talk) 20:19, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
