GNG fail. The only half-decent coverage relate to him being fired from a job. The article was reported at COIN for possible COI issues. Possibly (talk) 04:28, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete not even close to enough sourcing to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Has coverage in Forbes and Techcrunch. Has written for some well known publications such as Harvard Business Review. He is also a TedX speaker and organizer of events. In my search of google news, I found other sources not listed. I have added a couple. Article is poorly written IMO. Peter303x (talk) 02:01, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Rebuttal: the forbes article is written by him - not independent coverage. TedX does not confer notability and there are hundreds of TedX events each year amounting to minor seminar series.  Writing for the Harvard Business Review does not meet the criteria of WP:JOURNALIST, nor would being on the staff of any major publication.  FalconK (talk) 05:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV. Forbes is not necessarily a reliable source. The coverage is weak. Bearian (talk) 01:23, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only thing he could possibly be notable for is getting fired from HealthTap, which is what the techcrunch and vox articles are both about, and that would toll WP:BIO1E.  FalconK (talk) 05:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
