Fails WP:BIO. Described himself as Veteran corporate and political strategist. Major puff piece article that magically appeared fully formed, created by editor with SPA account User talk:Ejdooley. Not a politician. Fails WP:GNG. scope_creep (talk) 15:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. As written, this basically amounts to "résumé of a person who exists", rather than "encyclopedia article about a person whose existence warrants the attention of an encyclopedia". Being named as a Twitter account worth following, sourced only to a listicle that glancingly namechecks his existence without being about him, is not a claim of notability in and of itself — and neither is "appears as a political commentator on the news", sourced nowhere at all. And other than that, all we've got here is "owns a PR company" and "has clients", sourced almost entirely to references that glancingly namecheck his existence while not being about him.

 * Delete Promotional piece on non-notable person. AusLondonder (talk) 02:26, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG. I can find no suitable independent, reliable sources apart from local media, and that coverage is of a trivial kind. I'm puzzled by one of the sources, used more than once, referring to "Tim Griffin" and not "Pat Griffin" in connection with the firm Purple Strategies.
