 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Needs more discussion of the sources that were posted by Coolabahapple.
 * Comment, i've foun these that may contribute to Wolf's notability: there is a piece about him in The New Yorker, and another in The Wall Street Journal, his book The Entertainment Economy reviewed by Journal of Marketing - (review here), The Economist - (subscrition required), also, an article "All Around the World Same Song" in the Journal of Media Sociology notes that "The concept "entertainment economy" comes from Michael Wolf's (2003) book, The Entertainment Economy..."here (p.20).

 * Delete - This is a clear PR piece, probably by a paid editor. Ref-bombed. The subject is not notable. Skirts89 (talk) 17:30, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not meant to be a place to push out PR puff pieces, although that is how it is sadly sometimes used.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:59, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and cut it down to a stub. Article has been tagged ADVERT for years, but the thing is, the sources User:Coolabahapple found are seriously SIGCOV, and I don't see how we delete him.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:58, 3 January 2019 (UTC)  coming around to the view that blatant PROMO for a marginally notable figure maybe should just be deleted.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:36, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
