Doesn't look like he meets Notability. Most of the references are primary sources, broken links, or links to dropbox. No article for the company he is CEO of. -War wizard90 (talk) 00:45, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak delete Does not seem to meet the criteria of WP:Notability (people). Founder of a non-notable company and a non-notable roundtable. Author of a non-notable book (at least it's not self-published). Writes an occasional financial advice column for HuffPost. Of the references in the article, most are self-referential. There is one WSJ article featuring him (but not about him in any biographical sense). He sounds like a worthy and successful fellow, but doesn't quite meet our criteria for inclusion IMO. --MelanieN (talk) 21:51, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete. WP:ADMASQ. Also strongly suspect that article-creator User:Selectadvisors2121 is a paid promoter (and possibly a previously banned sock given apparent expertise in creating articles with infoboxes in their very first Wikipedia edit).
