 * I'm speedying this as a WP:HOAX. I don't have enough information to determine whether this is an outright fabrication about a person who doesn't exist at all, or a real person who's trying to self-promote by self-publishing false claims about himself, but it clearly falls under WP:HOAX either way. His name appears in none of the reliable sources that are present in the article, but is reflected only in the user-generated sources (IMDb, Geni, a press release credited to a non-existent publication and replicated on a press release distribution portal) that a person can easily hoax someone into — the only member of Melania Trump's communications staff I can verify in a reliable source is a woman named Stephanie Grisham. And for added bonus, how likely is it that Nick George is from the same town and attended the same high school as his predecessor Joanna Rosholm, rather than that part of the article simply being copy-pasted from Rosholm's?
