WP:BLP of a businessperson, not reliably sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for businesspeople. The notability claim here is that he's the founder of a record label -- except that the name of the record label he purportedly founded wronglinks to a video game company he wasn't a founder of, with no indication that his record label has a Wikipedia article at all -- and that he "has relationships with many artists, venues, clubs, and record labels in the Virginia/Washington D.C. area", which isn't a notability claim. And as for referencing, the article is completely unsourced except for his own company's self-published website about itself, which is (a) a dead link, and (b) not support for notability in and of itself even if it were still live. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of media coverage to establish his significance.

 * This seems like A7 to me, but I notice that it was PRODed and dePRODed back in 2011. Does that preclude speedy deletion as an option? Mlb96 (talk) 02:42, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * In case it needs to be specified, I'm !voting to delete based on failing WP:GNG, or for speedy delete under A7 if that's an option. Mlb96 (talk) 20:35, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and preferably speedy delete under WP:A7. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:25, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, I considered speedying, but the article's existed since 2011 and there's been a prod attempt in its past. Bearcat (talk) 13:38, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
