 * Delete - I have been unable to turn up substantial reliable source coverage of this individual to establish and confirm notability. The majority of the citations in the article are self-citations or peripheral.  If substantial reliable sources can be turned up I would be happy to withdraw the nomination, but as it stands right now I just can't find the required sources to establish notability.

I wasn't sure what link to use for the author page of his book. I didn't want to use all their own material but I wasn't sure if I should link to a Barnes and Noble page about the book. Also with the articles they have written a lot of the articles aren't availble online except for the pdf scans that they have on the authors site. I can change the citation around the article if there is a better way to present it. Mike Saint is like the leading mind when it comes to land use politics. He lectures at ULI all the time. The problem is this industry is so backwards that there aren't a lot of sources online or copies of lectures. It as advanced as other industries where they have entire conferences online. kp2575 (talk) 14:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Went through and found citations for just about everything and am in the process of adding more sources based off the various stories written about him in the press. No citations are going to either the company page or his personal page. kp2575 (talk) (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - cited sources merely confirm the existence of his company and book without asserting their notability. That leaves him in the position of being a CEO of a non-notable company who's written a non-notable book.  He doesn't pass WP:N or [{WP:BIO]]. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
