Delete. Although this is technically a second nomination, the first nomination was actually closed speedy within four hours — so I can't credibly speedy this as a recreation of previously AFDed content. However, there still isn't a strong or well-sourced claim of encyclopedic notability here — his notability as a company founder is still stacked onto his company's own primary source webpage about itself, his notability as a podcaster is entirely unsourced, and his notability as the writer of an open letter to the Prime Minister of Australia about same-sex marriage is stacked onto his own Twitter and a single newspaper article in his hometown newspaper, which fails to demonstrate the claim that he's become nationally known for it. None of this entitles him to a Wikipedia article just because he exists, and the sourcing is nowhere near satisfying WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 17:37, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete -- very marginal claim to notability and it's WP:BIO1E. Otherwise, strictly promotional. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:09, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
