Seems to mostly be a promotional piece. I am unsure what the notability claim here actually is, beyond him merely being a financial analyst. The sources don't seem to cover him or his work in detail. They mostly interview him on the basis that he analyses finance. A lot of the sources about his notability in the gaming space seems to come from low quality sources like Nintendo News and GamePolitics. The Forbes article about him is a contributor one and not a staff one. Dawkin Verbier (talk) 08:35, 22 January 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Delete. I don't think Nintendo News or GamePolitics should really be used in a BLP, but beyond that I likewise don't see the claim to notability. He's said a bunch of sometimes out-there stuff people have repotted on, but they're not reporting on him, and he's not the central focus of any of the content in the referenced article. Doesn't meet GNG as a result. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs  talk 19:40, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
