Fails WP:NBIO. Sources like YouTube, Amazon, interviews, and WordPress are not reliable. Also, one of the sources, [1], does not mention the subject at all. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 17:44, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've done some research using google, and had trouble finding mainstream magazines or newspapers that cover him in any significant manner through the normal or "news" filters, which leads me to believe the page may not pass WP:GNG. That said, it seems he has published quite a few papers [2], and so perhaps he fits one of the criteria of WP:Academic. Note I did find some sources about a man with the same name (although not the middle name, just first and last) [3]. Yvarta (talk) 19:05, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Its creator and main editor seems fairly determined to turn this article into a heaping mess, sad to say, and that's on top of a probable conflict of interest (note the editor's name is very similar to the article subject's).

Comment The article's creator and main editor has removed the AfD and maintenance tags for the 5th time. He has been reported. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:27, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:COI (WP:DUCK) and WP:RESUME. If there is any remote possibility this subject is notable, an editor without any connection to the subject and who follows policies/guidelines should do it. Nobody should have to spend any time taming this beast of a COI resume. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:59, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I must concur with the nom and Stevietheman. If this person is actually notable per our WP:GNG, it certainly isn't established in this article, and it's not salvageable in any case, per WP:RESUME. Waggie (talk) 17:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
