I think this is WP:ADMASQ and I can't find evidence that the subject or his business are notable in a before search. CameronVictoria (talk) 18:00, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a promotional coatrack for the company he runs, using promotional buzzwords like "celebrating" and "savvy", it is not an encyclopedic article, and there is no indication that it could be salvaged to being an encyclopedic article. Wikipedia is not a platform to run free advertising for your travel company.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:51, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - The tone of the article is promotional BS and its needing cleanup is, as always, a separate issue from notability. That said, the only source I could find was this from the Boston Globe, which does not make the case for his notability as a person: https://www.boston.com/travel/travel/2018/06/12/an-interview-with-the-founder-of-hideaways-precursor-to-the-likes-of-vrbo-and-homeaway/ Gnomingstuff (talk) 23:39, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
