 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Poorly sourced and highly advertorialized ("Mark was as happy discussing world politics with the likes of Jimmy Carter...as he was with encouraging his many close friends, all around the world") biography of an aviator with no strong or properly sourced indication of passing our notability criteria for aviators. The strongest attempt at a notability claim is that he had a role as a stunt flyer in a film, but that's sourced only to IMDb rather than any WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about that work -- and otherwise, the sourcing consists of a short blurb in which he's named only as the winner of a hamper in a contest, and a piece which is just an op-ed replying to points in his own earlier op-ed, neither of which are GNG builders. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a stronger notability claim, supported by much, much better sourcing, than this.
