The result was no consensus. Very little reason was given to keep, and this borders on delete based on the merits. Number of books published is meaningless when it comes to notability. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 17:28, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

This is a non-notable businessperson who has written a dozen books but hasn't had anything substantial written about them. Fails WP:BIO. Incidentally the article was probably created for hire by an editor who is now blocked for sockpuppetry, dePROD by another sock. Bri (talk) 16:54, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - there are a number of NY Times and other reputable source articles that have been overlooked. 174.67.96.248 (talk) 21:44, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
 * It would be a more helpful comment if you actually told us what those sources were. Bri (talk) 13:29, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - a BEFORE does show some sources on him. However I'm basing my vote on that he meets the criteria of WP:AUTHOR due to his authorship of "The Middle-Class Millionaire" (+around 50 books in total) and writing / quotations as an expert in family offices. Note -following examining the article I did remove one source - which seemed to be about a different Russ Prince (possibly his father - possible someone else - someone who was born at least 20+ before 1958, and who was in the salvation army (and not the military as quoted in the article).Icewhiz (talk) 19:04, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- too promotional to be worth keeping; the notability is marginal, if any. I'm not able to locate significant RS coverage that discusses the topic directly and in detail. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:18, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I would want to inspect at least one of his books (or know that the nominator had) before deleting this page. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:41, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
