Was going to let this one go, as I found a review of Punk Marketing in Publishers Weekly, but then realised that this was deleted at AfD in 2014, and I can find nothing more recent than about 2011 for the subject. There are several people with the same name, so maybe I missed something. Anyway, this looks to fail WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR.

 * Delete He has indeed written some books, but they are in the discount bins at Amazon etc. The main book, Punk Marketing, was reviewed by Publishers Weekly but that doesn't establish notability. (This is a genre that someone I know refers to as "business porn".) Lamona (talk) 04:26, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
