 * Keep. I wrote the original entry and I am amazed by the continued attempts to delete him. The previous editor that tried, ended up supporting keeping the article, and improved it considerably. Roll is a frequent expert contributor to global media, there is a full back page from China Daily only about him and he is the author of several books, one of which won the accolades of Business+Strategy. I am really lost as to why this is not sufficient, as my reading of the notability guidelines I have always followed, says that he fulfils the requirement. I am also slightly disappointed by an editor who says "about products and not about him", when this is factually incorrect, something that is evident if one reads all the referenced articles.

 * Keep. Here is the talk page edit that I made after reaching the conclusion that, contrary to my initial opinion, Martin Roll meets WP:GNG and therefore merits an article in Wikipedia. Zazpot (talk) 22:33, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
