Their seems to be very little evidence that Stadlen is notable. The only sources given which are specifically about him are written by him. Some of the handful of sources that are included have been added by an account called "Matthewstadlen". Also, the article was created by an account "Richay01" with no edits to any other pages which could also be associated with Stadlen. Llewee (talk) 21:09, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only sources found are articles he's penned [1], [2], appears to be a working journalist, no different than most. Oaktree b (talk) 22:50, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete This one seems like an easy call. In addition to the fact that there is very little evidence to support him as notable, and little to no WP:RS coverage of his life or career, there is likely a WP:COI case to be made with the editor and sources used in the article. I vote strong delete for these reasons. Go4thProsper (talk) 12:55, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
