Michael Lee (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Basically a promotional article. The references are primarily blogs, sources of unclear significance, and things that he's written. Claim that he is the "only known futurist to forecast victory for Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential elections" is unsupported by the sources given. Other claims of significance have to do with being adjacent somehow to other notable things and events (Elon Musk, Christiaan Barnard). Also possible paid editing, since the author's name is connected to a PR firm. ... disco spinster   talk  13:45, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not meet notability guideliness for businesspeople. Overly promotional, with infobox full of uncited information including details about family members (not needed on Wikipedia). References are not significant. Creator is a SPA with a suspicious edit history, with exactly 10 recent minor edits just to get autoconfirmed status. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 00:16, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete does not qualify under WP:ARTIST, and under GNG or ANYBIO we have just a pile of sketchy sources that don't support notability clearly.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:54, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Scanty sources, fails WP:SIGCOV. Probably a promotion piece too. Lapablo (talk) 10:28, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
