No evidence of any notability. All refs are either own web-sites, amazon sales or regurgitated press releases. Nothing independent. Highly promotional. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 21:37, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - needs the promotional material removed, but otherwise he actually passes GNG, which I find a bit surprising for a professional public speaker. Go figure.  . Although not all the coverage is glowing:, . Yvarta (talk) 23:43, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Every one of those positive reviews appear to be a regurgitated press releases.  Velella  Velella Talk 22:26, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nom, all the sources are thinly disguised advertorials, interviews with the subject or press releases. Even the negative stuff isn't indicating notability. Nthep (talk) 20:39, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Per User:Nthep. The sourcing is essentially either the subject himself or warmed-over press releases, and the actual content is essentially an advert. --Calton | Talk 00:47, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources provided don't seem to meet the standards for substantiating a notability claim.  The National is based out of the United Arab Emirates and is government owned/ controlled (i.e., not reliable).  None of the self-authored pieces will do the trick, nor will the reference to "Speaking.com" or "sharjahcityguide.com."  KDS4444 (talk) 02:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
