Non-notable individual, not even at the level of GNG. News archive shows a small number of sources, but none appear to be substantially about him. The COI and edit-warring on this article don't help matters... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:22, 21 July 2011 (UTC) You keep removing all of the links to notability, articles, speaking appearances, and then claiming that the article is about someone 'not notable'- sort of a self fulfilling prophecy, no? Why not leave them all on? Anyone who is a patent author, Ivy League MBA, public speaker, and business pioneer is notable, especially when multiple sources exist. The edit wars don't need to exist at all if you stop removing all of the notability edits. Are you notable enough to even be in a position to judge? Where is your list of notability?

 * Delete Article was WP:AB from, a COI has made recent attempts to get it remotely closer to BLP standards difficult, and high quality, independent RS with significant coverage to qualify for WP:BIO have not been found. MarB4  •ɯɒɹ• 19:34, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I am not able to find any significant coverage of this person reliable, independent sources, so I conclude that he is not notable by Wikipedia standards. There are few passing mentions where he is quoted about the work he does, but those are insufficient to establish notability.  The article started as an autobiography and has had serious problems with editing by single purpose accounts such as EditorCool777, who commented above.  Sock puppetry and conflict of interest editing are highly likely according to my reading of the discussion on the article's talk page.  EditorCool777 has resorted to edit warring to try to maintain a preferred version.  This article should go now. Cullen328 (talk) 22:34, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with Cullen and nom. I also note that EditorCool777 is a single purpose account.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:13, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability for this autobiography. -- Whpq (talk) 13:54, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
