Still not meeting WP:BIO or WP:AUTHOR. They have a new book out, but what appears to be coverage in the Guardian is in fact him running a "masterclass" i.e. not independent or reliable. SmartSE (talk) 19:04, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Would it be acceptable to replace the Guardian citation with either of the following? https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/333412 or https://www.fastcompany.com/40579601/this-behavioral-designers-top-brain-hacks-for-beating-distraction ? Both reference the same information and may be considered more independent and reliable, yes? Even if those replacement citations won't work and the info about his second good needs to be removed he still qualifies as notable under WP:AUTHOR since he developed the "hook model" and has been cited a fair amount on Google scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C50&q=%22Hooked%3A+How+to+build+habit-forming+products%22&btnG= Scruitineer (talk) 13:17, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank you for weighing in. I obviously disagree, but would you mind at least elaborating on why you don't think the subject meets WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR? I would like to better understand why this page is going to get deleted when, in my view, the subject meets (exceeds?) those thresholds for a page. Thanks in advance for any explanation you're able to provide, and again I appreciate you weighing in. Scruitineer (talk) 19:52, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep per WP:GNG. While there may or may not be some COI issues going on with this article, the subject of the article is in fact notable. He was the subject of a segment on NPR (see here), an article in Forbes (see here), Arab News (see here), and is an on air contributor for CNBC (see here) in addition to the things already mentioned in the article.4meter4 (talk) 05:55, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
