 * Delete I think this AFD can be justified as 1) promotional (albeit about someone for whom promotion is his main activity) 2) lacking in sources. One of the few seemingly significant sources - the Forbes one - is written by the co-author on his "5 day weekend" book, so I don't think that can be considered independent. That book was published by a small press, and the one other book of his that I can find was self-published. The one remaining article that I can find is the Sydney Herald one. It is pretty much a "lifestyle" piece and it does not appear to have done research to verify his claims. In fact, it says that he "claims he has been a professional musician, run with the bulls in Pamplona, rocketed to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere in a MiG jet fighter, climbed some of the world's largest mountains, chased tornadoes, written a book and joined the ranks of TED talk gurus." So I don't think that we have actual verifiability of most of those claims, except maybe the TED talk (TEDxBucharest, 2010). Lamona (talk) 03:34, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete doesn't met WP:AUTHOR or WP:BIO more broadly. Overly promotional. LibStar (talk) 04:22, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
