Contested PROD. While the article is marginally less promotional than it was when I initially encountered it, I'm not convinced that the subject is in fact notable. Such references as are provided and extant tend to be either directly connected with the subject or simply confirming the existence of his books etc. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:53, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- an advertorially toned BLP with nothing to redeem it, complete with an overly produced infobox photo. Has all appearances of being a paid entry, so "delete" per WP:NOTSPAM. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:43, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Mark is a Harvard graduate, with an influential company and brand, and he has a book now published with a major publisher, set to release on October 17, 2017. He is a notable person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danlidwin (talk • contribs) 15:08, 2 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: The article is written promotionally, complete with what amounts to back cover blurb for the subject's forthcoming book. Graduation from any particular university is not inherently notable, nor are jobs at the listed companies. I am seeing nothing to indicate the subject has attained encyclopaedic notability. Fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:BASIC, WP:GNG. AllyD (talk) 06:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - run of the mill speaker and business person, one of thousands. Bearian (talk) 18:13, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and above editors. Not nearly enough in-depth coverage to show they pass WP:GNG. The promotional tone helps not one whit.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:26, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
