Article is almost entirely unsourced. Of three sources provided one is dead and two are passing mentions insufficient to establish notability. Mccapra (talk) 05:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Can't find any quality RS where the subject of the piece was on him; most I get are passing references/name-checking is 2nd tier (and lower) RS (which is unusual for a media-BLP that claims to have worked with History Channel etc.).  Article is a CV and unambigiously WP:PROMO.  Britishfinance (talk) 16:15, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Article is certainly C.V. style PROMO. But it may be that he is notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:40, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: I'm not even going to get into assessing notability, this is a WP:NOTLINKEDIN failure.   SITH   (talk)   04:20, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. I also note he fails the prof test as an adjunct. Bearian (talk) 01:48, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
