The extent of the promotionalism is so great that regardless of possible borderline notability, the article should be deleted. I've notified the ed. who accepted this from AfC in 2010.  DGG ( talk ) 00:31, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Delete Nominator is right about the high degree of promotion in the article; if kept it should be trimmed drastically, or converted into an article about his company, MarketRider. There is one significant independent reference, New York Times, but it is about MarketWatch and barely mentions him (calling him one of the company's co-founders, although in the article he is described as the founder). I could find no biographical information to sustain an article about him. --MelanieN (talk) 21:38, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete or Userfy I agree with the nom's conclusions regarding the article. The encyclopedia is best served by removal of the ocntent as it stands. If someone wants to fix the article they are welcome to do so. Candleabracadabra (talk) 19:42, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: I would even say this could be speedily deleted as blatant advertising. One of the major contributors to the article may have some relation to the subject, it is blatant advertising. Even if we discount that and userfy it, he still fails Wikipedia:Notability. PrairieKid (talk) 22:22, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
