This is a new article where the notability of the subject may not meet Wikipedia's guidelines. There are a huge number of references but not much substance to many of them. I am not sure whether it should be deleted and am nominating it in order to get a consensus view. Please see the related article HelloWallet which comes from the same contributor and has the same issues.

I believe Matt Fellowes fits the notability (creative professionals) guideline: "The person is a significant contributor to, a subject of, or used as an expert source by major news agencies or publications." He is often quoted in independent, relevant national news publications as a consumer finance expert. In addition to being a business professional, Fellowes is an academic who after earning his Ph.D spent years at the Brookings Institution authoring his own research and serving as a commentator on issues of consumer finance across the country, including PBS, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NPR, ABC, Business Week etc. ElisabethLesser (talk) 00:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC) 
 * Weak Keep Appears (barely) to pass the WP:GNG, given profile in Huffington Post and other press mentions. However, the lead of this article, and its contents overall, are ridiculously promotional and essentially amount to a puff piece on the subject. It could stand to be strongly trimmed and edited for neutrality. Ray  Talk 19:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - as long as this is the same Matt Fellowes I'd say this article plus anything else is enough to establish general notability. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 04:55, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
